I was exposed for mining on Mars - Chapter 260 Audition

Luo Xiu and Ling walked cautiously in the blue passage, as if it was a secret room with many mechanisms.

But soon, several unusually tall humanoid creatures passed by them and looked at them curiously, as if they were looking at something strange.

“****” A series of sounds that Luo Xiu couldn’t understand came out of the other party’s mouth.

“Is he talking to us? What is he talking about?” Ling touched his head and asked Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu ignored him at all, but glanced at his right wrist. Unfortunately, after they got off the one-eyed creature’s battleship, all the equipment he brought from the United Solar System Civilization had disappeared ( Except for that ‘fold’).

He had no choice but to take out the ‘fold’.

“What are you doing? This is our only weapon. Don’t you want to live?”

When Zero saw Luo Xiu’s movement, he immediately wanted to stop it. Its three mechanical arms simultaneously stretched out towards Fold.

But before it came into contact with the ‘fold’, a strong arm stopped it.

“Is this for me? A gift?”

This time the humanoid creature finally showed an interested look, and what he said was actually understood by Luo Xiu.

I don’t know if the other person is a natural linguist or if he has some equipment that can help with translation, but at this point, Zero, the omnic, is already at a disadvantage in front of the other person.

“Yes, we are new here and want to make friends with you. Can you introduce us to the situation here?”

Luo Xiu said very politely.

In order to survive, what is a ‘fold’? And judging from the one-eyed creature’s attitude towards ‘folding’, this space weapon may not be as powerful as imagined here.

“It’s a nice little thing, but it’s not worth enough to make you my friend. What I need is not a weapon, but a true friend.”

The humanoid creature stared at Luo Xiu, and the seriousness and seriousness in his eyes made his somewhat “outrageous” words sound somewhat sincere.

“‘Friends’? Do you intelligent creatures like to do this kind of formalism? I…”

Zero also wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks to show that his presence had been ignored by the two people from just now.

But this time the humanoid creature punched it away, so fast that it didn’t even react.

However, the blue wall was extremely strong, and Zero didn’t even leave a scratch except for a muffled sound when he hit it.

“So it’s not a service robot? Is it with you?” The humanoid creature glanced at Zero and asked Luo Xiu with some dissatisfaction.

“It’s an omnic, and it was captured here with me.” Luo Xiu explained.

“You were caught here? It’s interesting. It seems like there must be something they like about you? Come on, that’s the rest area over there. Let’s go there and chat.”

Several new faces came over from the other end of the passage. An unnatural look flashed in the eyes of the humanoid creature, and then it stopped Luo Xiu and walked quickly to the other end.

As for Zero, who was still paralyzed in the passage, neither of them looked at him again.

“Hey, Chris, why are you leaving so fast? We also want to discuss cooperation with you in this audition contest.”

There was a burst of laughter in the passage, and it was clear that the other party’s so-called ‘discussion’ was nothing more than a mockery.

But Luo Xiu also knew the name of the humanoid creature in front of him, Chris.

…

This rest area looks like a prairie, and there isn’t even a chair. However, there are occasionally strange-looking (Luo Xiu’s feeling) four-hoofed creatures running around in it.

But soon Luo Xiu realized that this place was not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface, because he saw with his own eyes a big hand reaching out from the ground and grabbing something like a sika deer passing by in his hand, and then dragging it underground.

Then, I don’t know whether it was because of the ability of the owner of this hand or the function of this ‘rest area’ itself, but the place where the hand disappeared returned to its original state.

It seems that this ‘rest area’ is still a ‘cafeteria’? Luo Xiu couldn’t help but complained mentally.

“Sit down.” Chris pointed to a piece of turf and said to Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu didn’t know the reason why Chris chose this place, but he still sat down and looked at the other person, waiting for his ‘explanation’.

Chris played with the ‘fold’ for a while, and then actually threw it to Luo Xiu.

“Although this thing is somewhat useful, it won’t do much for me. Since you just came here, it may be able to save your life at a critical moment.”

Chris said very calmly.

Luo Xiu looked at the big man in front of him with some surprise, who was half the body taller than him. He didn’t expect that the other man had such a chivalrous heart under his rough appearance.

“By the way, tell me about your situation. Where are you from?” Chris suddenly hit the ground with his right hand and pulled out two ‘meat balls’ from the ground. He threw one of them to Luo Xiu. Then he picked up the other one and started chewing it.

Luo Xiu was shocked. This meat ball weighed at least ten kilograms, and it looked alive. He didn’t know whether it was the seeds of a plant or the eggs of an animal. He really couldn’t deal with such an unknown thing. Xiakou.

“I-I come from the solar system, uh, Orion…”

Luo Xiu paid attention to Chris’s eyes as he spoke. In the past ten seconds, the meat ball in his hand had been destroyed by him, but the doubtful look in his eyes became deeper.

“Solar system? Orion? How come I have never heard of it? Are you from outside the Milky Way? No way. I have seen creatures outside the Milky Way, but none of them look like our Dragon Clan.”

Christo tilted his chin and looked at Luo Xiu carefully as he said to himself.

Luo Xiu couldn’t help but feel a little ashamed. He had been alive for so long, and his area of ​​activity had always been within the two arms of Orion and Cygnus, and now he didn’t even have a tenth of the range. But now the opponent actually didn’t even have these two constellations. Never heard of it.

“Well, you must have heard of the second cantilever of the Milky Way, right?”

Luo Xiu said helplessly.

“Second cantilever, I see, couldn’t you have said this earlier? It’s very desolate there. It seems that your civilization must have had a harder time. By the way, I forgot to tell you, this is the center of the Milky Way. The central Silver Plate area is the densest place of all lost civilizations.”

Chris introduced while nodding.

“Silver platter?”

Luo Xiu was secretly surprised. According to Blue Star Technology’s speculation, the center of the Milky Way’s disk is theoretically a restricted area for life because it is filled with dense stars. But now Chris says that this is the place with the highest density of life in the Milky Way.

Although Luo Xiu has always been neutral about the technological level of civilization in the solar system, what Chris said now is still far beyond his imagination.

But on the surface, he still pretended to be nonchalant, as if he already knew all this.

But he forgot that Zero was still next to him. It didn’t know when it had returned to Luo Xiu, but he looked a little bad at this time. The three mechanical arms had turned into two, one of the two heads. It was also deflated, and it looked like it had been hit by something.

However, the two mechanical wings equipped with propellers behind it were intact. Maybe it relied on them to escape just now.

However, these traumas are nothing to an omnic like Zero, but Chris’s words obviously surprised it even more.

“What are you talking about? There are countless advanced civilizations here? How is this possible? I have launched countless life detectors here, but there have been no results.”

Zero was not surprised by this emotion, but his doubts could not be concealed in his words.

Chris just glanced at it and confirmed to Luo Xiu again: “Is this guy your friend? Let me advise you, things like this are very unpopular here.”

Luo Xiu glanced at Ling, sighed and then nodded and said, “That’s right.”

I just don’t know if his ambiguous admission means that Zero is his friend, or if he understands the fact that Chris said that mechanical bodies are not welcome in this kind of place.

When Zero heard Luo Xiu’s words, he was stunned for a few seconds. It was difficult for him to understand the change in Luo Xiu’s attitude. According to his understanding of intelligent creatures, the two of them were already at odds with each other, so how could they treat each other as ‘friends’? What about proportionality?

The reason why it keeps following Luo Xiu is because it has no choice. After all, in this strange and dangerous place, it only knows Luo Xiu as an ‘enemy’.

Chris nodded noncommittally, seemingly acknowledging the relationship between Luo Xiu and Zero, then looked at Zero and said: “Life detector? What do you think the gadget you made can be used for? Maybe you are interested in my words If you still have some doubts, let me introduce to you the technology line here.”

“Technology line?” Luo Xiu secretly speculated on this word.

“The lowest level is material weapons, including kinetic and energy weapons. These are commonly used weapons in primary and intermediate civilizations. The next level is anti-matter weapons, but this is also because there is relatively little anti-matter in the galaxy. I guess if in In an antimatter universe, the positions of material weapons and, for them, antimatter weapons should change.”

Luo Xiu nodded. It turned out that the antimatter technology he was most proud of in the center of the galaxy was only one level higher than conventional matter and energy weapons. He was curious about what kind of space weapons like ‘Folding’ would be in. Location.

“The next level is dark matter weapons. There is an insurmountable technical barrier between dark matter weapons and conventional weapons, which is also a sign of advanced civilization.”

“Then there are dark energy weapons. The relationship between dark energy and dark matter is like the nuclear reaction in normal matter, but this change is irreversible for dark matter. That is to say, dark matter can be converted into dark energy, but Dark energy cannot be converted into dark matter.”

“Next is the space weapon. The little thing in your hand is a weapon of this level, but it is still a semi-finished product and the workmanship is relatively rough, so it does not pose much of a threat to higher civilizations. It’s just a little tricky to deal with.”

Chris told Luo Xiu that this was one of the reasons why he was interested in Luo Xiu. Generally speaking, elementary and advanced civilizations are unable to create space weapons.

Luo Xiu nodded, and finally understood why the one-eyed creature returned the ‘Fold’ to him. Maybe it was hoping that he could become the ‘seed’ player he called him.

Zero on the side suddenly fell silent after hearing what Chris said. This ‘fold’ was indeed not created by it. To be more precise, it was already by its side when it was born.

Could it be said that this thing was left to it by its creator? Want it to perfect this space weapon and wipe out all civilization?

From this point of view, Zero failed to live up to the expectations of its creator. Not only did it fail to perfect this powerful space weapon in the end, but it itself was captured in the center of the galaxy.

When Chris saw the reactions of Luo Xiu and Zero, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up, but he did not say anything about it, but continued: “Beyond the space weapons, there is another ultimate weapon, that is, the causal weapon. In the galaxy, There is a rumor circulating that all the lost civilizations in the galaxy were forcibly trapped here by causal weapons.”

“Causal weapon?”

“Lost civilization?”

Luo Xiu and Ling paid different attention to it, but they said it at the same time.

Chris nodded and said: “Yes, there is currently a causal weapon in the galaxy, but it is not in the hands of any civilization, but a prize. Every one hundred galactic years, all the lost civilizations in the galaxy will hold a competition The competition will determine which civilization will control this causal weapon. You and I both exist for this.”

“As for the lost civilization.”

Chris looked at Zero and said: “You can understand them as the losers in the upper-level cosmic war, and then they were exiled here. They always want to rely on causal weapons to return to the original universe, so they will Calls itself a ‘lost civilization’.”

“Upper level universe?” Luo Xiu raised his eyebrows when he heard this word. He didn’t know whether the “upper level” universe Chris mentioned was a galaxy larger than the Milky Way or a dimension.

Chris’s words contained too much information, and Luo Xiu finally cleared the status of the original United Solar System Civilization in the Milky Way Civilization.

Using ‘bumpkin’ to describe him is already a compliment. If he hadn’t been captured here this time, I’m afraid that with the technological level of the United Solar System Civilization, even in a few million years, he might not be able to break through the barriers of dark matter technology.

Thinking of this, Luo Xiu couldn’t help but smile bitterly. From this point of view, could it be said that this time it was a blessing in disguise?

But he was not happy at all.

Because no matter how you look at it, with his current ability to participate in this huge competition, there is no return.
