Moke Star Civilization

Hello, unfamiliar civilization!

Everyone looked at the first translated paragraph, which contained only a few words. The second signal, lasting three seconds, was a repetition of that same sentence.

Because the radio broadcast comes with a publicly available dictionary, humans have achieved a relatively accurate translation after nearly three months of research.

After converting the dictionary into code and inputting it into "Tianhe Light," it can be said that humanity has now learned the "language" of this Alien Civilization.

The language is in quotation marks because humans currently only recognize languages through Electromagnetic Wave and have not actually seen the written system of a language, but this does not hinder communication.

The people on the bridge continued to look down.

[When you triggered the intelligent Nanobots' mining mechanism, you also triggered my hibernation program. From that moment on, I watched you, watched you begin construction on the planet, watched you be killed by the intelligent Nanobots. But I'm sorry, at that time I had no way to stop it all from happening, nor could I notify you without alerting the intelligent Nanobots.]

[This is my responsibility, or rather, the responsibility of our civilization, because these intelligent Nanobots are actually our civilization's mining tools. For this, I can only apologize. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself; I come from the Moke Star Civilization, and I am a Mining Area Patrol.]

The reason I'm sending you this message is that I need your help. Of course, I won't let you help for nothing; in return, I'll share the technology and knowledge I possess. By the way, please don't rush to reply when you see this message, because your communication methods won't escape the detection of Nanobots.

[I have a communicator here, which I created over seven years based on data from our civilization. Using it to contact me can evade the detection of Nanobots. The manufacturing method is attached to the last paragraph of this message; consider it a small gift for your help. I believe your interstellar technology should be capable of creating it.]

[Alright, unfamiliar civilization. Since I risked my life to send this Electromagnetic Wave signal to you, I can only keep it brief. We can discuss the specifics after you've built your communicator. I await your reply.]

The message from the self-proclaimed Mining Area Patrol of the Moke Star Civilization's mining area ended there. From the message, humanity also understood why the second time only lasted three seconds.

Further down is a lengthy instruction manual or a method for manufacturing a certain communication device, filled with various scientific terms.

Yue Yuan didn't rush to look at the manufacturing instructions. Instead, he looked around at the many scientists and sociologists present and asked, "What do you think of this person who claims to Mining Area Patrol of Moke Star Civilization?"

"From the information, we can see that the Moke Star Civilization is the creator of the 'Silver Mist.' But it seems that something happened to this Moke Star Civilization that we don't know about, to the point that the 'Silver Mist' turned from a mining tool into their enemy," a scientist immediately replied. "The patrolman didn't explain the reason, but from his description, it's not hard to guess that the intelligent Nanobots have rebelled, which is commonly known as the Technological Crisis. However, we didn't find any trace of civilization when we explored the Ross 154-4 Planet, which is somewhat suspicious, but perhaps it's because our technology is too inferior."

Is it Technological Crisis? In other words, the source of information is not really "Silver Mist," or, as the Tark Civilization's Mining Area Patrol said, intelligent Nanobots.

The reason given in the information —the Technological Crisis— is acceptable, since humanity has long witnessed the power of the "Silver Mist."

However, much of his statement is unclear, and many things are not explained clearly.

For example, what happened to the Moke Star Civilization? What exactly is this so-called help? What is their current status? Where are they located? Why do they believe that humans can help them? And as Mining Area Patrol, where exactly are they hiding?

Furthermore, if it's Technological Crisis, why did the "Silver Mist" that humans previously observed still appear to be bound by established mining procedures? All of this seems deliberately withheld. Is this Mining Area Patrol really that confident that humans will reply?

Yue Yuan paused for a moment, then looked at the scientist who had just answered, "Do you think this information from the so-called Mining Area Patrol is true?"

The scientist frowned; he clearly hadn't expected Yue Yuan to be focused on this.

Seeing that the scientists did not answer immediately, Yue Yuan turned his gaze back to the large screen that was still displaying the communication content, and then said leisurely, "Or let me put it another way, do you think there are Mining Area Patrol?"

Yue Yuan's focus was somewhat different. When he saw the message, his first thought was whether it was true or false, rather than whether it would be helpful or beneficial.

The Moke Star Civilization likely exists, given that they even have dictionaries. Linguists have also stated that their language is unlike any other human language.

But when it came to the next level, Yue Yuan had some doubts.

He didn't even bother to verify the so-called communicator manufacturing method, because he was certain that the method described therein was genuine.

Because it's obvious that humanity will eventually verify it, and if it's fake, then there will be no follow-up.

At this point, the scientist replied, "There are no obvious loopholes in his statement, so I believe that there is indeed such a Mining Area Patrol. He/she may have been trapped on the planet because of a change in civilization, but we need more information for the specific reason."

"So now we have two options. The first is to build the communicator according to the instructions and then contact the Mining Area Patrol to get answers to our questions. The second option is simple: pretend we didn't receive any signal and just ignore him."

With his hands behind his back and his eyes fixed on the big screen, Yue Yuan said, "Whether we choose option one or option two, we have to verify the manufacturing instructions. After all, according to that person from the mining area, this is a 'welcome gift,' a welcome gift from an advanced civilization. There's no reason not to accept it."

"By the way, have you seen it? What is this so-called 'meeting gift'?" Yue Yuan turned to look at several scientists who were looking at the manufacturing instructions.

"Chief, according to the instruction manual, it should be Neutrino Communication Device. It says that under normal circumstances, this is a communication technology that only a Level 2 Civilization can truly master."

"Level 2 Civilization?" Yue Yuan caught a glimpse of the word. "Yes, Dr. Lu said that this corresponds to 'two' or 'second' in the dictionary, so it is translated as Level 2 Civilization or second-order civilization."

"Something from Level 2 Civilization? Can we build it? And what stage are we at now?" Yue Yuan asked thoughtfully.

"The manufacturing instructions have detailed steps. I think as long as the Materials Technology keeps up, we should be able to manufacture it."

"As for what stage of civilization we are in," the scientist who had spoken didn't continue, but instead turned around and shrugged at Yue Yuan.

The meaning couldn't be clearer.

Don't know!
