(Thank you to Nanite Plague: Luo Yu for the reward bonus chapter 11/11. Thanks again.)
Zero was remarkably straightforward and directly sent Li Qinwu a string of code—the data it had observed on the surrounding celestial bodies.
Li Qinwu only needed to hand the data to his navigators. Once they analyzed the relative positions of the celestial bodies, they could pinpoint Zero's location.
After obtaining Zero's location, Li Qinwu issued a warning:
From now on, you must remain silent regarding signals from unknown sources!
Humanity is no longer the ruler of the universe. Your location is on the edge of Imperium of Man-controlled territory, where there are many alien Xenos. Those Xenos may pose a threat to you.
Humans also deeply despise artificial intelligences like you. They have given you a name: Abomination. Once discovered, destruction will be your only fate.
By the way, before contacting me, did you broadcast any signals outward?
Zero: I awakened approximately two years ago. I did not actively broadcast signals to the outside world, but I have been continuously collecting signals and selecting some to reply to.
Li Qinwu had a bad feeling. Warhammer 40,000 was much like the Three-Body World—once one's coordinates were exposed, things could become extremely dangerous.
He asked, "Have you revealed your coordinates to anyone?"
Zero: No. Since awakening, I have received a total of 15,302 public signals.
The languages used by the senders of these public signals were not humanity's official languages. I inferred that they were alien races and therefore ignored them.
Additionally, I received a large number of encrypted signals. After deciphering them, I discovered that they used a highly efficient binary language. There were faint traces of human language, but very few, so I ignored them as well.
It was not until I encountered your broadcast
