Chapter 60: Gamma-ray burst!
"But... this planet is a bit strange?"
Everyone looked at the data analysis with confusion.
Zhuo Yuanming asked in confusion, "Is there anything strange about it?"
Everyone began retrieving data and said, "Hmm, we actually detected that this planet is a metal planet!"
"Metal planet?"
Zhuo Yuanming was very surprised. Could life be born on such a planet? If there was no life and no civilization, then why did all the traces point to that planet?
"Detect for signs of life!"
"Yes! Beginning to retrieve biological information..."
"No traces of carbon-based life were found! No traces of other life either!"
Everyone was very surprised upon hearing this.
"How can there be no signs of life? All the clues point here, it can't be wrong!"
Facing everyone's questions, the personnel responsible for data analysis were also helpless. The data showed this result. As for the data being wrong? That's unlikely. It wasn't just one piece of data showing this, but all data, and it was the result of multiple investigations.
Zhuo Yuanming frowned, seemingly thinking of a possibility, and asked, "Can metal give birth to life?"
"This..."
Everyone looked at each other. Normally, it shouldn't be possible. If it were a strong artificial intelligence, a conscious robot, it shouldn't be considered life.
But not everything in this world can be explained by science, let alone the existence of various mysterious powers in this World.
Thus, it is not absolute that metal cannot give birth to life; it is possible that it can.
"High Priest, your guess is not without reason. We can directly dispatch a probe to investigate at close range."
"Alright, send the Water Drop to investigate the condition of this metal planet."
"Yes!"
Soon, the Water Drop was launched, heading towards that metal planet.
When it reached a designated distance, it was subjected to terrifying ray attacks.
A blinding flash instantly engulfed the Water Drop probe.
However, in just a moment, the Water Drop probe was dissolved into dust. Such a sudden situation was the first time the Human Race had encountered it.
"How is that possible!"
Everyone's eyes widened, unable to believe that the previously indestructible Water Drop had turned into Universe dust just like that.
"Raise the threat level!"
Zhuo Yuanming's eyes narrowed. To possess such means, it was at least a civilization of level two or higher.
"Collect material information and analyze attack data!"
Everyone started to get busy.
"The attack method has been confirmed!"
"The method is a Gamma-ray burst!"
What is a Gamma-ray?
Gamma-rays are electromagnetic wave photons with frequencies higher than 1.5 hundred quadrillion Hertz. Gamma-rays have no electric charge or rest mass, thus having weaker ionization ability than alpha particles and beta particles. Gamma-rays have extremely strong penetration ability and carry high energy.
Facing the Water Drop's outer shell, which formed an absolute defense by tightly binding electrons with the strong nuclear force, it would be easily penetrated and destroyed by it.
This was also the reason why the Water Drop was dissolved in one hit.
"Not a weak Technology civilization... Continue to send out Water Drop probes! Collect more information about the opponent's World!"
Zhuo Yuanming ordered. Although the Water Drop would be destroyed, they had plenty of them and could produce as many as they wanted. As long as they could collect your information, you could destroy them however you wanted.
"Yes!"
A large number of Water Drop probes were launched, rapidly traveling at one-tenth the speed of light.
The Human Race wanted to see if they could use this flight speed to evade the opponent's Gamma-ray burst attack.
But unfortunately, even at such a terrifying speed, the opponent could still lock on and deliver targeted Gamma-ray burst attacks.
One Water Drop after another rapidly dissolved.
The Human Race also stopped playing tricks and decided to endure the opponent's ray attacks while continuously approaching the metal planet.
Finally, after losing a large number of Water Drop probes, some Water Drops managed to enter the opponent's World.
"Hurry up and collect material information! Collect dark matter data!"
"Yes!"
"Beginning material information collection! Dark matter data collection!"
[Warning! Attacked by unknown Technology! Server is being injected with a special virus!]
The strong artificial intelligence suddenly issued a warning.
"Technology invasion!"
"Activate the firewall! Start virus scanning and removal!"
[Firewall building! Opponent is cracking the firewall!]
[Requesting computing power support!]
"Authorized!"
[Computing power retrieval successful! Beginning counterattack!]
A large amount of data information began flashing across everyone's screens. Zhuo Yuanming quickly scanned and analyzed it.
"This invasion method is indeed very strong, but the opponent's computing power cannot suppress us. Therefore, this invasion is opening up a path for us to re-enter the opponent's database!"
Zhuo Yuanming's eyes flickered. Since they dared to invade, they should be prepared for the outcome of being counter-invaded!
[All viruses completely removed! Have successfully attacked the opponent's database!]
[Subjected to a large number of counter-measures and isolated from the database!]
[Blocked by the opponent's firewall...]
[Beginning forced computation and cracking!]
[All Celestial Computer computing power retrieved...]
[Cracking progress 10%... 44%%...]
[Subjected to opponent interference, cracking interrupted... Counterattack strength significantly increased!]
[Forced suppression! Continue cracking!]
[66%... 77%%... 100%]
[Cracking successful! Re-entered the opponent's database! Established our firewall! Isolated the opponent from entering!]
Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed. Zhuo Yuanming quickly ordered, "Copy all of the opponent's data information!"
[Beginning data copying and transmission back!]
Large segments of data were transmitted back by the strong artificial intelligence. Everyone quickly began analyzing it.
During this time, the material information and dark matter data collected by the Water Drops were also transmitted back one by one.
However, the Water Drops that had entered the opponent's World were also destroyed by the opponent during this period.
But everything was worth it. As long as they grasped the opponent's data information, they could plan targeted measures. This was the battle between Technology civilizations.
If they didn't fight, fine, but once they did, it was a fight to the death!
While Zhuo Yuanming and the others were analyzing the data, the civilization on that metal planet couldn't sit still.
"Not good, we've actually been kicked out of the database permissions! It's over!"
"Damn it, how are they so strong? We didn't invade them, but we were counter-invaded!"
"Now we're in a passive position. It's estimated that by the time we regain permissions, all the data inside will have been emptied!"
One by one, they panicked and fled.
"We can't sit here and wait for death! The opponent must be near our planet, let's attack directly!"
A metal person said.
The other metal people also nodded. They naturally understood the seriousness of the matter and had to counterattack as soon as possible.
"How do we search for the opponent's whereabouts?"
The leading metal person pondered for a moment and said, "Launch a Gamma-ray burst, indiscriminate attack! As long as there is an anomaly in one place, the opponent must be there!"
All the metal people also agreed to this method.
Thus, the terrifying Gamma-ray burst was brewing again, and this time the Gamma-ray burst energy was even more terrifying, with a wider attack range, enough to penetrate a distance of an entire light-year!!!
