Chapter 646 Civilized Broadcast!
Lin Mo's side is destroying the space wormhole at an increasingly faster pace.
Each time a wormhole is destroyed, a reconnaissance missile is launched to the other end before it collapses.
Although the effective transmission time of each detector is only ten to twenty seconds, as these fragmented data are continuously superimposed, the outline information of the demon race becomes more and more complete.
That satellite was definitely not an ordinary base.
Some spatial wormholes were spewing out demons, with large numbers of low-level demons forming chaotic ranks and rushing towards the wasteland like a swarm of insects being driven.
Meanwhile, demons are entering other wormholes.
"They are mobilizing troops."
An operations staff officer judged:
"This satellite is likely connected to other battlefields."
"Blue Star is not the only target, nor is Terra. Or rather, it is a transit point, an outpost."
Han Niba's eyes darkened.
This aligns with their previous assessment.
The Demon Race is not a single-line invader, but a war-mongering race that expands across star systems.
They used wormholes to drag civilization after civilization into a war of attrition.
Lower-level demons are responsible for filling in the gaps, while higher-level demons are responsible for decapitation, and finally assimilation, devouring, and plundering.
If it weren't for the fact that Earth possesses nuclear weapons, antimatter bombs, and the support of Terra's seventh-tier powerhouses, Great Xia would probably have been dragged into this quagmire of despair as well.
As the images from different angles were stitched together, the structure of the entire galaxy gradually appeared on the big screen.
It was a blue giant star.
Its size is hundreds of times larger than the sun, and its intense blue-white radiance fills the entire star field.
There are ten planets orbiting it, most of which are giant planets with extremely large sizes.
On this scale, many celestial bodies that should be called "planet" become satellites of these giant planets.
The existence of the main star, suspected to be home to a technological civilization, has left astronomical experts collectively silent.
It is not a planet orbiting a star independently.
It's a super satellite!
It orbits a giant planet larger than Jupiter, and also has a smaller companion moon.
Blue giant, giant planet, supersatellite, companion satellite.
This complex multibody structure kept several veteran astronomers staring at the model for a long time.
"What makes this orbital structure so stable?"
The young researcher next to me whispered a reminder:
"Teacher, but that's just how it is..."
The old astronomer glared at him.
"I know, I'm not blind! I'm asking the universe why it's behaving this way!"
After a few seconds, he sighed to himself:
"Alright, this kind of orbital stability... it's not impossible in theory, but the probability is frighteningly low."
"From a probabilistic point of view, as long as it is not zero, it may actually exist on a sufficiently large scale."
Han Niba on the command platform paid no attention to their shock, nor did he care about it.
He only looks at this information, regardless of whether it's useful for understanding the war situation.
Just as everyone continued their analysis, a red notification suddenly popped up in the lower right corner of the main screen.
[New data packet received successfully.]
[Source: Pangu II]
[Wormhole ID: Temporary Marker Seventeen.]
Upon seeing the new data, the technician immediately connected to analyze it.
This time, the decoding speed is faster because the model foundation has been established.
However, a dozen seconds later, a red alert suddenly popped up in the electromagnetic spectrum analysis window.
[A regular electromagnetic wave signal has been detected.]
The operator paused for a moment, then sat up abruptly.
"Report! We have detected unnatural electromagnetic waves!"
The entire command center fell silent instantly.
Han Niba turned to look at him, his eyes gleaming, and shouted:
"Repeat it!"
The operator raised their voice.
"There are regular electromagnetic wave signals in the data packet."
"The frequency is stable, with periodic modulation, and the probability of eliminating natural noise is relatively high!"
The astronomical experts immediately rushed to the control panel.
"Release the spectrum! Quickly!"
On the screen, a waveform is magnified.
The sound was not chaotic; long and short pulses alternated, with stable intervals and a clear repetition pattern.
Someone asked uncertainly:
"Is this a communication device?"
"Very likely."
"Is it from that technological civilization?"
Everyone understood what this signal meant.
Ruins will remain silent, and wreckage will not send messages.
Only operating equipment or living intelligent life would send out such regular signals to the universe.
The cryptography expert listened for a long time, his expression grave:
"It has a coded structure. Nature wouldn't produce such neat logical wavebands; this is broadcasting from an intelligent civilization."
The command center fell silent again.
The city lights only prove that they are still alive.
Electromagnetic broadcasting means they are still communicating with the outside world.
The chief of staff asked urgently:
"Can it be deciphered?"
The cryptography expert's hands were already on the keyboard:
"It will take time."
"The encoding logic is completely unfamiliar, but since it's an external broadcast, it will most likely have a built-in basic character set and duplicate checks."
"Using a super quantum computer and several other computing centers, preliminary results can be obtained in as little as a few hours."
Han Niba did not hesitate:
"Mobilize all idle computing power and go all out to crack it."
"yes!"
........
The nineteenth spatial wormhole collapsed inward amidst holy light and spatial cracks.
The dark purple vortex, like a giant demonic eye, was crushed by an invisible hand.
Thousands of monsters that hadn't yet managed to break free were dragged back by the spatial turbulence and torn into large swathes of black mist.
Lin Mo piloted the mecha, leading everyone to the surface.
"I wonder how the data analysis is going."
He muttered to himself, then directly dialed the communication line at the Tian Shu Underground City Command Center.
"Lord Han, are there any results from the data analysis? What's the situation with the wormhole?"
On the other end of the communication, Han Niba immediately replied:
"There are two possibilities, and the situation is more complicated than expected."
Lin Mo's eyes narrowed.
Tell me about it.
Inside the Tian Shu Command Center, Han Ni Ba stood in front of the large screen and said:
"Based on methods such as astronomical positioning, the demons are not in some ethereal otherworld; on the contrary, they are very close, right here in the Milky Way!"
Lin Mo's breath hitched.
"Milky Way?"
"Yes." Han Niba raised his hand, and Orion's Arm and Perseus' Arm were marked on the screen at the same time.
"The Demon race is currently located in the Perseus Arm region of the Milky Way, about three thousand light-years away from Earth."
"The error is still narrowing, but the general direction is correct."
Inside the cockpit of the second-generation Pangu, Lin Mo subconsciously looked at the sky outside the cockpit.
At this time, the sky above Blue Star was obscured by wind, snow, and dust, and little starlight could be seen.
But a vast starry sea appeared in his mind.
Three thousand light-years.
For current human space technology, that is an almost insurmountable astronomical distance.
However, for the demons who possess spatial wormholes, this distance is no longer sufficient to serve as a barrier.
They are not the monsters of legend.
They are a war-torn race that actually resides on another spiral arm of the Milky Way.
Lin Mo asked in a deep voice:
"What about the second scenario?"
Han Niba said in a deep voice:
"We discovered another technological civilization there."
Lin Mo was startled.
"Alive?"
