Chapter 14 Dark Forest

(Congratulations to the first leader of this book, "Wood Man", thank you for your support. I will post a chapter first, and add 10 updates after it is released.

I wish you: Wanjie_Happy birthday today, 2020/08/04.)

An extremely arrogant voice came through public channels; because it was not encrypted, the intelligent program automatically translated.

Hearing this arrogant voice, the faces of the four Hilder players changed. Even the lazy golden dragon suddenly raised its head, and the scales on its face squeezed together. The lightning on the electronic cloud's face doubled.

Golden Feilong has the most irritable temper and roars repeatedly, and he wants to start communication and scold.

"Calm down!" Hilde scolded, "The reason why the other party uses public channels is that we can't find our place. If you reply, we will be exposed."

Taking a deep breath, Hilder shouted: "Xiaoqing, keep silent, turn off all external lights, and the engine... also turn off."

"Okay master."

All the lights outside the Blue Fish warship were turned off, and the battleship entered an electric silent state. The power system was also turned off, and it was completely dependent on inertia to move forward.

The starry sky is vast and deep, empty and lonely, and the stars of the Aslant Galaxy are as small as rice grains and pearls on the boundless wilderness.

The warships of one kilometer size are as small as dust, and the matte surface makes the warships more hidden.

Hilder collects data on destroyed bait spacecraft to calculate the enemy's position, but it is only possible. Because the attack on bait spacecraft is a kind of missile, and missiles can turn corners.

Missiles in the interstellar world only need to spray compressed air to adjust their direction. Low-temperature compressed air is difficult to reconnaise and track.

In just over a dozen seconds, "Xiaoqing" calculated the possible direction of the enemy: however, this was only a rough range, with a range of tens of millions of kilometers.

But Hilde was very calm and activated the passive reconnaissance equipment on the spacecraft to scan the starry sky. He scanned it over and over again without any effort.

The spaceship was quiet. Even Cincintikule no longer crackled.

More than three hours passed quietly, and finally a red dot that was not easy to detect appeared on the observation image. If you do not observe carefully, you may even think it is a noise.

Looking at the image, Hield smiled: "Although there is stealth technology, it is too close to Salmi Star, and there is still a little infrared radiation and reflection."

The elves were more alert, "Will this be a bait ship released by the other party? Once we attack, it will be exposed.

Reflecting infrared radiation is almost common sense. Players in the chaotic camp have extremely rich combat experience, so it is impossible not to not pay attention to this."

Hilde nodded slightly, "If you have this possibility, then observe it for a while. Since the other party has appeared, we are not in a hurry to log in.

They only had three keys, and without our keys, they could not even open the entrance to the ancient mission hall.

Let’s compare patience first!”

Time passed little by little, and six hours passed without realizing that. The Qingyu battleship, which had shut down the engine, was still more than 100 million kilometers away from the target.

Zhao Yi opened his eyes, and the excitement in his eyes could not be suppressed. The virtual experience card attached to his eyebrows fell off, and the brilliance on it had disappeared.

Hilde turned his head and sighed quietly, then nodded at Zhao Yi with a smile, and then said nothing.

This attitude made Zhao Yi a little confused. "Don't you ask me how I'm studying?"

Hilde's mouth curled slightly, and said with a smile: "Life is yours, and the opportunity is given to you."

The excitement in Zhao Yi's eyes faded away quickly, and he sat up, and the recliner under him automatically returned to the seat.

After sitting down, Zhao Yi couldn't help asking: "Why did you sigh?"

"The set time is too short. If it is normal, a virtual experience card can be used for more than fifty hours."

Zhao Yi quickly put the card on the table.

"It's useless, I can only use it once. Save it as a souvenir."

Zhao Yi didn't say thank you, but just nodded vigorously. But in Zhao Yi's field of vision, the system space once again showed a light red font:

Temporary task: Found a failed card, with a little residual energy, whether it is absorbed: Yes/can/allow/immediately/…

Zhao Yi:...

The system has woken up and feels like it is starting to let itself go.

Zhao Yi still ignored the system's prompts. This card has been given to him, so he doesn't have to hurry. If the card is absorbed and turned into powder, it will be hard to explain.

It seemed that he heard Zhao Yi’s voice, and the system light flashed a few times before he slowly faded away unwillingly.

Zhao Yi received the card and asked, "Are you almost reaching the destination?"

"This is a translator, Adou, I'll reset it; it may be a bit imperfect, let's just put it down first." Hilde placed an earbud-like device in front of Zhao Yi. Then he answered Zhao Yi's question, "I encountered something, but I haven't reached the destination yet."

Zhao Yi stuffed the earplugs into his left ear - a virtual experience card, and there was a way to use the earplugs.

The earplug enters behind the left ear, activates and expands automatically, and is completely embedded in the ear canal and will not fall off. However, the earplug is a little swollen, which is not too comfortable.

The earplugs were activated, and Zhao Yi could finally hear the 'words' of the Golden Dragon and the Electronic Cloud.

"Boy, have you heard it? Call me, uncle." This is the Golden Dragon Grand Richie.

"Welcome, yum..." This is the electronic cloud Cincintikule. The crackling sound of lightning was actually translated into a 'yum' sound.

Hilde smiled and said 'Welcome' in his own language.

Elf Ivo Ester bent over gracefully, "Welcome to join. I hope you can grow up as soon as possible and fight side by side."

Zhao Yi thought about it, bowed and thanked according to the ancient etiquette.

However, Zhao Yi thought: Handshakes and other methods are likely not to work. Not to mention whether they are willing or not, they just say that the electronic cloud has no hands; and Ricci, what if he gives himself a claw?

Fortunately, the school has an ancient ritual classroom, which is part of education in the new era.

At this point, the five people have truly met each other. With the translator, we can finally communicate freely with everyone.

Zhao Yi first asked a question: "A Dou ran away, and the mission is also very dangerous. But everyone doesn't seem to care?"

"Can you change just by caring?" The elf answered Zhao Yi's question, "It is because of danger that you need to relax, so that you can meet the challenge wholeheartedly.

Life will not change because of your frustration; but you can treat life optimistically.”

"I've been taught." Zhao Yi looked in awe, "So, what are we going to do now?"

Hilde briefly explains it.

After listening to the explanation, Zhao Yi sighed: "This is a typical law of dark forest!"

"The law of the dark forest?" The elves became interested. "We also have dark forests, very scary places. Do you have them?"

"No, no, no..." Zhao Yi touched the tip of his nose, "This is just a vivid metaphor, not a real black forest. It is a hypothesis proposed by our earth when we were looking up at the stars and thinking about the universe.

The law of the Dark Forest believes that the universe is a super black forest, and every civilization is both a hunter and prey in the black forest. We must carefully explore, hunt, develop, and avoid exposure. Any civilization that exposes itself will be destroyed by the crowd."

After hearing this, the elf frowned slightly: "It's a bit extreme, but there's some truth, but it's just some truth."

"This is the dark forest, I like it!" The golden dragon flapped its wings, as if cheering for this.

Cincintikule circled around Zhao Yi and floated to the side and whimpered, not knowing what it meant.

Hilde nodded thoughtfully: "A wonderful guess, if 'civilization' is replaced with 'warship', it will be very similar to our current situation.

What advice do you have for the current situation?”

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Yi's face.
Chapter completed!
