Bengtie, sandbox development, how did they run out!

After some hesitation, Shen Yi finally decided to study the signal band decoder first.

The game limits you to responding within 20 rounds, otherwise the signal will disappear.

The research on the signal band decoder requires 19 rounds, which is just enough.

Now that the curtain of space exploration has been raised, the subsequent main battlefield will definitely be placed in the entire universe.

Take this opportunity to acquire the ability to "negotiate" with civilizations as early as possible, and also make early preparations for future planning.

It’s only 19 rounds, I can afford the bet, let’s study it!

In each subsequent round, a prompt box will pop up indicating that the signal has been received.

And every time it pops up, the response countdown above will be reduced by 1 round.

19, 18, 17...

Finally, with only one round left in the countdown, the research on the signal band decoder was completed.

Shen Yi immediately selected the research vessel that received the signal and decoded the message.

The result of the translation surprised Shen Yi greatly——

【Emergency help! 】

It's not a greeting like "Hello" or "Is anyone there?", but a distress signal?

This result was beyond Shen Yi's expectations.

Is this some kind of bait?

Shen Yi's current field of view is as wide as 100 billion kilometers. Within this field of view, he has not observed any other civilizations except the Grammer Empire.

In other words, this signal must come from somewhere farther away than the field of vision.

Being able to broadcast signals to such a distant civilization, its technological level must be no worse than that of the Grammer Empire, and may even be higher.

The enemy who can force them to send out a distress signal must be very powerful and should not be underestimated.

Since this "game" is connected to the Star-Iron Universe, does the signal received by the fleet come from a civilization that they know?

Thinking of this, Shen Yi felt dangerous but also became extremely curious.

He opened the mall and hovered the mouse over the item "Beyond Visual Range Detector".

100 Xingqiong's beyond-visual-range detector can provide a field of view of 1 light year. Originally, Shen Yi did not plan to use it, but in the current situation, understanding the surrounding field of view in advance is the best option.

He had already planned that if he could see an unknown civilization sending out a distress message after using the beyond-visual-range detector, he would choose to respond.

If you still can't see it, it means that the other civilization has transmitted the information across 1 light year.

The level of that civilization must be quite high, and the troubles they encountered must be extraordinary.

In that situation, unless he was forced to get involved, Shen Yi would definitely refuse to respond to avoid getting into trouble.

Click to buy, clone gems, use props, all in one go!

As the beyond-visual-range detector transformed into a curtain of light, with the capital planet Terra as the center, the fog of the interstellar map within a radius of one light year was revealed as if blown away by the wind.

Shen Yi was also able to see clearly all the planets within a light-year range.

Before, his field of vision was only 100 billion kilometers, which is approximately equal to 0.001 light-years. Now with a field of vision of 1 light-year, the range of the interstellar map he can see has expanded nearly a thousand times.

Zoomed in to the smallest possible size, Terra is just a single pixel on the screen.

Very exaggerated.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is the distress signal!

Of course, it is a fantasy to find a planet among tens of millions of planets in the vast star map.

But now with interstellar vision, as long as the other party is within 1 light year, the Grammer Empire's scientific research vessels can reversely locate the signal source through the received signals.

Shen Yi manipulated the mouse and performed a positioning operation. As the screen was dragged rapidly, the center of the lens successfully locked onto a planet 0.3 light-years away from Terra.

The planet is also surrounded by a dense cluster of black spots.

No, that's not right.

Looking closely, it was not a planet, but a ship that was as big as a planet, or even larger than an ordinary planet!

And those black spots around it are also huge, behemoth warships that look like living creatures!

Seeing this, Shen Yi was suddenly shocked, and a guess immediately emerged in his mind -

Immortal boat!

Could this ship be a fairy boat?

A civilization that I didn't create at the beginning becomes an "AI" camp after entering the game?

With this thought in mind, Shen Yi quickly zoomed in the camera.

With the help of the beyond-visual-range detector, he can even directly pass through the hull of the immortal ship and directly see the world inside!

It is different from the peaceful and prosperous fairy boat Luofu in the game.

There was a war going on inside the cave of this immortal boat.

The real-time simulated sky was blackened by smoke, and flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the distorted buildings around it.

Those once magnificent buildings are now only left with ruins, crumbling in the sea of ​​fire.

Thick smoke billowed, blocking out the stars and sunlight, turning the day into dusk. The air was filled with a pungent smell of burnt and blood, making it suffocating.

The star ships and fighting ships that crossed the sky made continuous explosions, and brilliant flames connected the sky and the earth, like a red glow hanging in the sky.

Shen Yi saw a group of werewolf-like guys with wolf heads and human bodies wreaking havoc on the battlefield.

Their murderous aura was overwhelming, and their swords and knives were like a forest. Like madmen, they did not care about their own lives at all. They directly drove the beasts and used their bodies as a medium to launch a death charge against the cloud cavalry guarding the fairy boat.

The Cloud Cavalry suffered heavy casualties under their attack, but they showed no signs of retreat and relied on their tenacious willpower to block the enemy's offensive.

Shen Yi saw this and couldn't help but frown, with a thoughtful look on his face.

This fairy boat does not have Jianmu, so it is obviously not Luofu.

The enemy who attacked them had a wolf-headed human body and was Bu Liren...

Could it be Cangcheng?

Chapter 33: Immortal Boat Cangcheng (Part )

He zoomed in and out of the field of view, moved the camera to the periphery of the immortal ship, then selected a unit, intending to make a judgment based on the planetary information.

Civilization: Unknown

[Faction: Unknown]

Leader: Unknown

【Diplomatic stance: neutral】

When Shen Yi saw the information frame, he was speechless.

No, buddy, I can penetrate the outer shell and see directly into your cave, but I can’t see your name?

It seems that the setting is that we must wait for the research ship to explore and the two sides to negotiate before we can obtain this information.

Well, that's reasonable.

Now that it is clear that the one sending the distress signal is a fairy ship, Shen Yi will take care of it no matter which fairy ship it is.

Not to mention that the Xianzhou is a force that stands on the side of the protagonist group in the main storyline of the original work. Just for the sake of these autonomous characters on the Xianzhou, Shen Yi cannot let them be destroyed.

What's more, the Fengraomin people are a group of interstellar bandits. Anyone who sees them will spit at them. They are even more hateful than the Zerg swarm.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if they were captured and used as living specimens for human experiments, no one would feel pity for them.

The problem is that although Shen Yi has decided to help, how to help has become a difficult problem.

This fairy ship is too far away from the planet Terra, a full 0.3 light years away.

Shen Yi has not yet discovered the technology of [Jump Engine], so the exploration fleet cannot conduct hyperspace navigation.

Relying solely on thrusters, it would take at least six thousand years for the fleet to reach the immortal ship.

Damn it, six thousand years have passed, let alone the immortal boat, I guess even the great way would have been wiped out.

As an "Outer God", Shen Yi can ignore these conditions in the game.

If he wanted to destroy that group of Bu Li people, the Planet Extinction Order in his tool bar was enough.

But the embarrassing thing is that Xianzhou is not his civilization!

Xianzhou belongs to a neutral civilization, and the attack props used by Shen Yi can only prevent damage to "friendly" units and territories.

Attention, friendly only!

In other words, as long as Shen Yi uses the extinction order on this planetary circle, everyone, including Xianzhou, will die!

The main point is that there is no distinction between friend and foe, and blood flows like a river!

Therefore, if we want to deal with the Buli people without harming the Xianzhou civilization, there is only one way -

That is to make Xianzhou a friendly civilization of the Grammer Empire.

There are three steps to achieve this:

First, respond to the Immortal Boat's distress signal;

second, to declare friendship to them and conclude an alliance;

Third, declare war on Bu Liren.

It sounds simple, but I get stuck at the first step.

As we all know, signals are the manifestation of electromagnetic waves, and the essence of light is also electromagnetic waves.

In a vacuum, the propagation speed of electromagnetic waves is equal to the speed of light, and the fairy ship is 0.3 light years away from the star Terra.

This means that even if Terra responds to the other party's distress signal, it will take nearly 4 months for the message to reach the other party.

Due to the lag in message transmission, the two civilizations were unable to communicate effectively and promptly, which led to a chain of suspicion...

Isn't this a dark forest?!

After going around in circles, I'm back to where I started?

Shen Yi felt like he was being fooled, but soon, he thought of something else.

The "game" limits him to responding to the opponent within 20 rounds, and there is only 1 round left.

Since the time hasn't come yet, it's not too late for my reply, right?

What's more, Xianzhou has mastered the space folding technology. What if they also have mastered the cross-space communication technology?

In the background story, doesn't the Cloud-Viewing Mirror on the Yuque Immortal Boat, which is used to ask Emperor Gong Siming for help, have the function of sending messages?

Moreover, the Cloud-Viewing Mirror also has the function of scanning the universe. Although the original work did not say how far the scanning range is, the word "universe" is used, so it should not be bad.

Alas, let’s stop brainstorming and believe in the will of the universe!

Shen Yi pressed the mouse and clicked to respond.

But nothing happened.

He thought it would take a round to get the results, so he clicked on the next round.

Sure enough, the moment the next round began, an exclamation mark appeared.

Shen Yi couldn't wait to click the exclamation mark, and the dialog box that popped up contained the reply from Xian Zhou:

[This is Xianzhou Cangcheng. We have been attacked and surrounded by the Buli people. The situation is critical and horrific!]

This city is in dire straits. We beg for your assistance to jointly fight the enemy.

The Buli people are a people of wealth, morally corrupt and devoid of humanity. They lurk in the shadows, stalking the world, taking pleasure in destroying nations and plundering their people. Their brutality and despicable actions are beyond the reach of Heaven and unbearable under the king's law!

[A thief's evil is hidden, but his evil deeds cannot be concealed; justice is clear, and his leader must be punished.]
