In fact, there is no Small Universe in this star field. The Silicon-Based Collective discovered this when they arrived. The reason they did not see the Remnants at the beginning was because the Remnants were in a state of Optical Invisibility.
Optical Invisibility is not visible light cloaking, but rather full-spectrum Optical Invisibility. The reason the Silicon-Based Collective discovered the Remnants is naturally because they detected them through spacetime distortion.
"I hope you can still say that when you're facing Electron Warship." The Silicon-Based Collective retorted without any politeness. Although saying this might damage the friendly atmosphere between them and the Remnants at the moment, they couldn't just remain silent after being spoken to like that.
"I'm not one of those vermin born from corpses."
The Remnants was equally blunt, his words even carrying a strong sense of sarcasm. But in his view, that was the truth.
All Heavy Element in the universe come from the Supernova Explosion stars, and he was one of those stars. In his view, Silicon-Based Collective are life forms born on the corpses of stars.
Not only Silicon-Based Collective, but all civilizations that are not of the first generation are Children of the Stars. The sun, Earth, and all planets are products of the explosions of previous generations of stars.
"That's enough, we're not here to argue with you." The Silicon-Based Collective really wanted to teach the Remnants a lesson, but they held back.
The Remnants appears to be a star, and in this universe, Level 5 Civilization has the ability to destroy a star. However, the Silicon-Based Collective does not believe that it can destroy the star-like the Remnants in front of it all at once. After all, a star stands there motionless, while the Remnants will not stand still and let you hit it.
Of course, the main reason was the desire to destroy the Electron Warship. The Silicon-Based Collective really wanted to destroy the Electron Warship, and their experience from the last battle against the Electron Warship told them that these special life forms were the most effective, just like the Quantum Specter or Quantum Lifeform from back then.
The Silver Heart Alliance had already convinced Gaia Consciousness, and with the addition of the Remnants, they did feel confident of victory against the Harvesters. However, the leader of the Silicon-Based Collective had already planned ahead; this time, no matter what, their Silicon-based Consortium would not engage the Electron Warship in a direct confrontation.
"The Remnants, our general plan is for you and Gaia Consciousness to deal with the Electron Warship, while we, along with the Perseus Commonwealth and the Silver Heart Alliance, will annihilate the Harvesters' conventional forces and wipe Harvesters out of the Milky Way Galaxy," the Silicon-Based Collective said, creating ripples in spacetime.
The Remnants did not give a formal verbal agreement, but it is estimated that the consortium was well aware that the Remnants were already interested.
Moreover, as mentioned before, the Remnants had no choice. Without other civilizations, it was impossible for an Individual Civilization to leave the Milky Way Galaxy alone. Individual Civilization's long voyage is much more difficult than that of Group Technological Civilization. They had to rely on other civilizations.
"You don't need to tell me about plans. I don't need plans. It's just a mere electron. I don't even care about it. Calling on Gaia Consciousness is superfluous." The Remnants's words were filled with arrogance.
"We advise you to put away your arrogance. You haven't experienced that war and don't know the power of Electron Warship. It's simply incomprehensible." The leader of the Silicon-Based Collective shook spacetime with his words, which truly came from the bottom of his heart.
"That's your problem, you don't need to worry about it."
The Remnants didn't listen. He shook spacetime and rippled through it, bringing the topic back to the Awakeners: "Why don't you tell us about that civilization from Extragalactic Civilization?"
The Silicon-Based Collective was not surprised by the reaction of the Remnants, because according to the Silver Heart Alliance, this guy probably had no idea how long he had been in this star system.
Even Level Six Civilization cannot immediately grasp the entire situation of the Milky Way Galaxy; delays in communication are inevitable. It's unclear whether this is the reason the Silver Heart Alliance contacted him.
"Breaking news." The Silicon-Based Collective didn't waste any words and directly shared the latest information they had obtained. After all, it's a collaboration, and information that needs to be shared should be shared.
"It is said that they are a civilization that possesses some kind of Characteristic Technology. We do not know exactly what that Characteristic Technology is, but intelligence reports that they are very powerful. The Silver Heart Alliance has confirmed this after making contact with the Perseus Commonwealth. They suspect that the disappearance of a Patrol Fleet of the Perseus Commonwealth was the work of that civilization from another Extragalactic Civilization."
"You would never guess that a Patrol Fleet of the Perseus Commonwealth was wiped out by a single warship from that civilization. Well, maybe several, but definitely no more than three, because that civilization usually only has a maximum of three warships in a single star system at any given time."
"If it weren't for the current moment of cooperation, we would all doubt that the Silver Heart Alliance was exaggerating. The Perseus Commonwealth is, after all, a top organization in the Milky Way Galaxy. Their combat power is indeed not that great, but for a patrol squad to be wiped out by a single warship from a civilization from Extragalactic Civilization is still a disgrace to the Milky Way Galaxy."
The Remnants waited a while, and when the Silicon-Based Collective continued to vibrate and send messages, he said, "That's all?"
He thought the Silicon-Based Collective had a lot of information, but it turned out to be just this little.
"That's all," the leader of the Silicon-Based Collective replied.
"I understand. Leave the coordinates and the start time of the plan, and then you can leave." Seeing the leader of the Silicon-Based Collective answer in this way, the Remnants also decisively created ripples in spacetime.
However, the Silicon-Based Collective did not leave as he said. Instead, it moved several times in the starry sky as if it were a flash, and moved its location further away, because they felt that the outward appearance of the Remnants seemed to have changed, as if there was some abnormality.
After jumping a distance, the Silicon-Based Collective once again stirred up ripples in spacetime. "Don't you want to know the role that civilization from Extragalactic Civilization plays in our plan?"
While the Silicon-Based Collective was asking questions, it also simultaneously informed the Remnants of the plan's start time and possible coordinates through a spacetime oscillation.
This method of creating ripples in spacetime through oscillations is similar in principle to Gravitational Wave broadcasting, but there are also differences. Gravitational Wave broadcasting involves Strong Force vibrations in spacetime that create broadcasts that travel over long distances, while this method is more like face-to-face conversation.
Information is also emitted in the form of Gravitational Wave, but it does not spread as far as a broadcast. After the signal spreads to a certain range, it will be annihilated by spacetime itself, just like water waves disappear after traveling a long distance.
