Vol 2 Chapter 507: Bridge of light

The star in the galaxy in front of Xiao Yu is a red giant that has evolved into old age. Its mass is larger than that of the sun, so after reaching the red giant stage, its volume is even more incredible.
As stars evolve into their later years, their volume will gradually expand. Just like the sun, after billions of years, the volume will even expand into the Earth's orbit, engulfing the entire Earth. The star in front of it is even more exaggerated. At this moment, its radius has expanded to billions of kilometers. If it is placed in the position of the sun in the solar system, it will directly consume Jupiter. One can imagine how huge it is at the moment.
Just beside such a huge star, there is also a poor gaseous planet. The scientific station discovered by Xiao Yu is above the satellite of this gaseous planet. There is a huge base-style building built here. Next to the base, you can also find some scientific researchers who wear samples of special life support equipment to collect samples in the wild. This message from Xiao Yu was sent here by broadcast. Xiao Yu believes that this message will soon be noticed by the staff left here, and then reported to the civilization's capital galaxy layer by layer, reaching the highest leader of this civilization.
The facts are exactly as Xiao Yu predicted. After the signal was received by the signal collection instrument at this base, and imported into the central computer, because Xiao Yu added a dictionary message to the message, the central computer quickly translated the message. .
A staff member staying here saw the information. His look changed instantly. He knew the message was beyond his processing authority, and he knew the importance of the message. So he picked up the emergency communications equipment lightningly. As a result, this message was transmitted over a distance of 500 light years to a planet in the Pegasus civilization's mother galaxy. Then there was another downturn in the message. Eventually came to the capital city of the capital planet and was received by the supreme leader of Pegasus civilization.
All these things took less than half an hour.
Xiao Yu's fleet is still advancing rapidly. In the course of curvature navigation, Xiao Yu's fleet did not approach the gravitational influence range of this red giant star, so Xiao Yu's fleet did not need to escape from the curvature navigation. In just half an hour, Xiao Yu sailed a distance of nearly 20 billion kilometers.
At this time, Xiao Yu received a reply from Pegasus civilization. In this reply, a dictionary message was also included, so Xiao Yu also translated it very easily.
"Guests from afar, our Pegasus civilization warmly welcomes you. Indeed. As you said, in this vast galaxy, there is nothing more important than development, and we communicate with each other. , Trading unique technology. It is undoubtedly the fastest developing way. We Pegasus civilization has been waiting for such an opportunity. Fortunately, we have met you. We Pegasus civilization fully agrees with your proposal. Only. Yes We hope you can agree to some things. Although you are a wandering civilization. There is no fixed planetary station, but there is no doubt that your fleet is very powerful, even stronger than our fleet. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we invite you Settle in the following star field, and then send a civilian spacecraft to communicate in detail with our civilization. Yours, Pegasus civilization. "
The star field in Pegasus civilization. Xiao Yu looked at the star map and knew the location. It was a white subgiant star, and there were about three planets around it. Here, there are about two hundred light years away from the galaxy of Pegasus, the capital of civilization.
Take the interstellar era. From the perspective of the fifth-level civilization, this place is roughly equivalent to the borderline of Pegasus civilization. Xiao Yu said he could understand the request made by Pegasus civilization. In fact, if Xiao Yu was changed, Xiao Yu would also make such a request. After all, the two sides are unfamiliar. Until you are thoroughly familiar with it, naturally you cannot allow such a powerful fleet of opponents to enter your own border.
After this brief exchange, there was nothing substantial in the conversation between the two parties. The two sides began to tentatively test each other on topics that seemed to have no nutrition.
Although such a topic is not meaningful, it is very important. This is a necessary process for two unfamiliar civilizations to change from unfamiliar to familiar. It is also a process for both sides to understand each other. In this stage, not only Pegasus civilization is exploring Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu is also exploring Pegasus civilization. No matter how deep inside it feels, anyway, when more than ten years have passed, when Xiao Yu ’s fleet reached the designated star area of ​​the Pegasus civilization, the civilizations of both sides already seemed familiar.
Waiting for Xiao Yu in this white sub-giant galaxy is a huge ship of no less than the size and mass of the American spacecraft. It leads at least half a million battleships at the edge of the galaxy. Ceremonial soldier.
Xiao Yu knows what Pegasus civilization means by doing so. It is nothing more than showing himself the strength. This is quite normal. Coming over with a warship does not necessarily mean war.
Xiao Yu's fleet escaped from the curvature of the voyage, and quietly suspended in space, maintaining a relatively static position with the white sub-giant star. The two-party fleet is about 300 million kilometers apart.
A whole-body red medium-sized city-level spacecraft flew out of the Pegasus civilization's fleet and began to approach slowly towards Xiao Yu's fleet. Xiao Yu, who has a certain understanding of Pegasus civilization, knows that such a red spaceship is a spaceship specially used to welcome VIPs in Pegasus civilization. The level of this spaceship is very high, probably speaking, it is almost equivalent to various luxury cars in the earth era.
Prior to the official contact this time, the etiquette departments of the civilizations of the two sides had exchanged details of some of the contacts agreed. Among the million spacecraft of Xiao Yu, naturally there is no special etiquette department, so Xiao Yu assumed this responsibility. But Pegasus civilization is unknown.
Facing this welcoming municipal ship, Xiao Yu sent a national ship to approach. The two sides approached slowly by conventional navigation. After about an hour, the distance between the two spacecraft was shortened to less than one hundred kilometers.
Just then, a scene that shocked Xiao Yu quite happened.
Xiao Yu saw that at the port of this city-level spaceship, the huge hatch slowly opened, and then some of the instruments at the bottom of the spacecraft started Xiao Yu's temporarily unfamiliar operation. As these instruments operated, there was gradually light Began to radiate.
These rays do not seem to be the same as the usual rays. They do not propagate directly at the speed of light like ordinary light, but under the control of some unknown force, they start a relatively slow advance, like a gradually extending steel plate.
But Xiao Yu knew that this was not a steel plate made of steel, but a "light plate" made of light.
This Pegasus civilized welcoming city-level spaceship constructed a section of road with light, gradually extended out 80 kilometers, and stopped there.
It is not difficult to control the light forward and reduce its speed. Humans can do it in the earth's age. The propagation speed of light in a vacuum is a constant and cannot be changed. To reduce the speed of light, a special medium is used to allow light to propagate in this medium. In this special medium, the speed of light can even be slower than the speed of human walking.
But that's in a special medium. Now, Xiao Yu doesn't think there is anything in this universe that can reduce the speed of light.
"Although the specific details of this technology are not clear, one thing is certain: the Pegasus civilization has more research and understanding of optics than mine." Xiao Yu thought silently.
"In order to express your respect for your guests, please ask your negotiators to come over this bridge of light. Our civilization has sent someone to meet you." Xiao Yu observed the so-called bridge of light silently, speculating among them When science and technology, Xiao Yu received such a message.
"Is the bridge of light?" Xiao Yu muttered to himself, "It's really an image."
Indeed, the name of the bridge of light is really appropriate. A strip of light across the dark cosmic starry sky, emitting a soft light, is indeed like a bridge.
After receiving that message, Xiao Yu saw another thing that shocked him even more.
Xiao Yu saw ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Some things like the cars of the Earth era drove out of the port that welcomed the city-level spaceships. These cars are like driving on land. The bridge of light drove forward quickly.
Light is nothing, but here, the light has truly become a substance. It not only builds a bridge, but also bears things on it.
This scene shocked Xiao Yu.
"What the is this! The light constitutes the band of light, after all, it is within an understandable range, but these things like cars can also be driven on it, which is a bit hard to imagine. What technology What is the principle? Why do I know nothing about this technology? "
"Anyway, I must get this technology!" Xiao Yu secretly made up his mind. (To be continued ...)
ps: I woke up in the morning to see that there are already 50 monthly passes today. So good, when it comes to do it, this is the first change of the 20-month pass, and the second change is coming soon! If you have a monthly pass, please vote for it. The more the better, don't worry about Rainbow's claws being unbearable, haha!
