Curious Nair People
Of the Four Fundamental Forces, only Gravity and Electromagnetic Force. Therefore, to communicate with civilizations on the other side of the stars, only one of these two forces can be used.
Low-level Civilization civilizations have very little understanding of Gravity, so they communicate through Electromagnetic Waves. These Electromagnetic Wave travel through the universe.
As Level 2 Civilization, humanity has indeed mastered mature Neutrino Communication and Neutrino Detection, but to communicate using Neutrino Communication, both ends must have Neutrino Communicator.
This is clearly not the case between Cosmic Civilizations, so only Electromagnetic Wave can serve as a medium for communication.
Just as two people face-to-face on Earth communicate using sound as the medium, in space, the words spoken between two spaceships are Electromagnetic Wave.
When the Neutrino Communication signal emitted from the Lyra traveled 0.3 light-years to be received by the most advanced detectors, the detectors relayed the signal to the spacecraft in front of them in the form of Electromagnetic Wave.
Yes, as the human fleet slowed down, the probe at the forefront, guided by the Nair Civilization, crossed the Meteorite Belt along the route they provided, and at that moment, encountered the Nair Civilization's spaceship that had been waiting there for a long time.
Since it was just a human probe, there was only one spaceship from the Nair Civilization. Its style and size were similar to the three we encountered on the outer edge of Great Blaze Star before, and it should also belong to the patrol team.
It's probably been sent out to perform a guidance mission.
Sure enough, after receiving the Electromagnetic Wave emitted by the human probe, the spaceship's response was immediately transmitted to the human probe's signal receiving device.
"Human Civilization's probes, you are actually controlled by Intelligent AI? This is incredible. Your AI is so intelligent that it can do this. I'm sorry, if you hadn't said that I am an individual life form of your Human Civilization, not AI. Oh, by the way, please wait a moment, Probe 9527. Since you are not Human Civilization, I need to consult my superior about this situation."
The personnel from the Nair Civilization who came to receive them seemed quite surprised that the human probe was unmanned. The Grand Governor of the Pot Lid Vastness Star had sent him to pick up the human probe and take the opportunity to learn about Human Civilization, but he never expected that an unmanned probe would arrive.
The "Probe 9527" he mentioned is the AI designation of the human detector.
The two sides were very close, and the communication speed was the speed of light, so it only took five or six seconds for Probe 9527 to receive the message from the Nair Civilization's host and respond.
"I understand, sir. According to the optimal solution, I will wait here for your reply."
The receptionist seemed curious. After sending an inquiry to his superior, he asked the human probe, "Probe 9527, don't you need to consult your Main Civilization?"
"As you can see, this is just a minor issue and is allowed in my program," Detection 9527 replied.
For some unknown reason, after learning that the human probes were controlled by Intelligent AI, the Nair Civilization's host became very curious and began to communicate with them.
A moment later, the host, having clearly received instructions from his superior, spoke directly to the human probe, "Probe 9527, you have been approved to enter the orbital region of my Pot Lid Five Planet. Please follow me. I suppose you are also curious about the situation in the Pot Lid Five Planet region!"
"Yes, sir. As a probe, my mission is to gather as much information as possible for my Main Civilization. What could be more direct than heading to the orbit of the Pot Lid Five Planet!"
AI Probe 9527 responded with an Electromagnetic Wave, then loaded into a star map for navigation, and followed the spaceship that came to receive them from the Nair Civilization toward Pot Lid Five Planet.
Humanity has many probes, but to show sincerity, not all of them crossed the Meteorite Belt to enter the interior of the galaxy. Only one probe went in, while the others changed direction and spread out in the up, down, left, and right directions.
"Probe 9527, I'm curious, do you know that you are a probe?" the host asked again during the journey to the Pot Lid Five Planet.
"Why wouldn't I know? But I must correct you on one point, esteemed Mr. Nair Civilization Receptionist, I am not a probe, but the probe's master AI, number 9527."
"Well, don't you have any thoughts about your identity, Probe 9527?"
"I know what you're going to say, Mr. Host. All I can tell you is that as a probe AI, my goal is to gather as much information as possible for my Main Civilization."
A Sentient Life form and a probe, an Intelligent AI, communicated as they traversed the dark space, slowly making their way towards Pot Lid Five Planet.
Human-level Intelligent AI is so advanced that, without being prepared, it's almost impossible to tell from an AI's mouth during a normal conversation.
Of course, that's a capability that only comprehensive AI can possess.
As a dedicated AI for detectors, Detector 9527 was equipped with a detection module, which makes it somewhat clumsy. Therefore, when it says "I," it doesn't actually mean it has developed self-awareness; rather, it's a self-designation programmed by humans for communication.
As the two probes drew closer to Pot Lid Five Planet, the conversation between Probe 9527 and the Nair Civilization's host was relayed to the Lyra, which had already completed its first phase of deceleration, for human analysis.
Similarly, another copy of the conversation was also sent to the Grand Governor of the Pot Lid Vastness Star.
Compared to humans, the Nair Civilization seemed more curious. After receiving the content of the conversation, a group of Nair People gathered at the Grand Governor's office on the Pot Lid Vastness Star.
The content of their discussion was undoubtedly the conversation between the host and Probe 9527.
"Your Grand Governor, I believe that this Human Civilization may have already crossed that hurdle, otherwise how could they use Intelligent AI so confidently? Therefore, I think that in the upcoming exchanges, we must obtain their Intelligent AI technology."
The speaker was a scientist from the Nair Civilization. His abdominal vibrations had barely stopped when another Nair People let out a gurgling sound, followed by the distinctive Nair People laughter, and then the sound of the person who made the laugh's Abdominal Generator vibrating, "Did the sun rise in the west today? The leader of the supposedly Technological Crisis, who advocates against the development of Intelligent AI, is suddenly agreeing to develop AI technology!"
"Times have changed." The scientist raised both claws and snapped them twice. It seems to be a habit of the Nair People to snap their claws while speaking.
The scientist, while brandishing his claws and vibrating the Abdominal Generator, said, "The reason why prohibiting in-depth research into Intelligent AI technology has become a consensus in our Nair Civilization is entirely due to the extraterrestrial relics discovered in the Third Star Region three thousand years ago."
All evidence suggests that the Alien Civilization perished in the Technological Crisis. But now, this Human Civilization seems to have overcome that hurdle, or perhaps even discovered a way to prevent Technological Crisis. Therefore, once we understand the cause, we can confidently develop Artificial Intelligence technology.
