Chapter 1877 Endless? (Where Is the Monthly Ticket for the New Month?)
What happened in North America naturally couldn't be hidden from Fang Zheng who was in space.
In fact, when Fangzheng received Iona's report, he was not at all fluctuating in his heart, but...
"What the hell is this?"
Fangzheng was also dumbfounded when he looked at the pattern in the center of the North American continent on the satellite cloud image that looked like some kind of cult characters and symbols.
We're a... sci-fi disaster movie, right?
What the hell is this?
Could it be that he went to the wrong set again?
In fact, after zooming in and seeing all kinds of devil-like monsters running on the ground, Fangzheng even wondered if Diablo had come here to make trouble, but... this looks similar to The demons in Diablo don't seem to be the same thing, do they?
At least the brain of the person who looks as big as a horse has metal limbs and two things like gun barrels underneath... This is completely sci-fi style! There is no such monster in Diablo, okay!
No, it should be said to be a sci-fi demon style?
It's all messed up, what monsters and monsters are coming out!
Although he was puzzled, taking this as an opportunity, Fangzheng took a closer look and found that something was wrong.
Now Fangzheng has also noticed that the difficulty of Nightmare IV is obviously equivalent to the gathering of many forces that invaded the earth. According to reason, maybe if he didn't kill the protagonist, the opponent might attack wave after wave, but Now it has turned into an all out.
Not only that, these alien races that should have belonged to different works actually seem to have a very perfect unified deployment. According to Fang Zheng's observation, assuming that these alien races are really like those in his memory, then they should fight.
But in fact this is not the case. They obviously have a division of labor and cooperation.
The huge battleship from Tiansha's Independence Day is obviously the air force, and Iona also reported that a strange alien fleet appeared in the Pacific Ocean and attacked the naval forces in the Pacific Ocean. Not only that, but in North America alone, there are separate The alien force of the three-legged robot that looks like a giant octopus, and the alien force that shines blue light and can brainwash humans, plus this one that appears now should appear in a mythical ghost story rather than a sci-fi movie... alien? power.
These forces also met each other sometimes, but there was no battle between them at all. On the contrary, each force seemed to be doing its best to divide its own territory... Well, this reminded Fang Zheng of when Columbus discovered the New World.
It's not that I didn't report, the time has not yet come.
At the beginning, the Americans wiped out the natives of North America and occupied their land. Now the aliens discovered their existence and launched an attack, and another cycle came.
Sure enough, it is the reincarnation of heaven, and the retribution is not good.
Let them go.
"The First Fleet continues to spread, and our goal is to regain the entire Eurasian continent."
Fangzheng has completely given up on North America. In his opinion, as long as the Eurasian continent is preserved, North America is regarded as raising pigs. Anyway, those aliens in North America are now showing their magical powers to transform Americans. Become an alien soldier, after the transformation is completed, you can still burn a little more.
Just keep the pigs for now.
The most ironic thing now is that the only place in the world that is still considered peaceful is the Middle East, except for East Asia, which has not been swept away by aliens.
This is also normal, after all, Fang Zheng has never seen an alien invasion movie set in the Middle East.
From this point of view, the United States is enough to harm the whole world. Even Africa has a huge alien invasion army at the moment...
But even so, Fang Zheng is still quite cautious. What he is currently sending to Earth is only the first fleet of the Canglan Fleet, not even the main fleet. In fact, the main fleet is still hidden outside the solar system by Fang Zheng. After all, according to the nature of the system, assuming that these should originally belong to different worlds, and the alien forces of different races can unite to occupy the earth, it means that there must be a mastermind behind them.
Fang Zhengke still remembers that he saw the trailer about the second part of Independence Day before traveling. It seems that the one who captured the earth in the first part was just a vanguard force and not the final boss. In this way, it was not the entire force of the alien force that attacked the earth at that time, but only a small vanguard.
This is normal. After all, the civilization gap is too great. Like Fangzheng's blue fleet, if it is placed in the world of Emilia or Louise, he does not need to dispatch all the members, and Fangzheng does not even need to mobilize the main fleet. At most one plunderer and two destroyers solve the problem.
Of course, it would be almost enough to have another aircraft carrier just to be on the safe side.
The same is apparently true of these aliens attacking Earth.
Therefore, Fangzheng decided to hide his main force and wait until the opponent couldn't help but make a move. After all, whoever moves first at this time will lose.
And at this moment, Iona gave another report.
"Commander, an unknown alien creature has appeared in area A3 and is launching an attack."
"A3...huh? North Korea has aliens?"
Hearing Iona's report, Fangzheng was stunned for a moment, and then he was surprised.
Are you kidding me? North Korea... Has North Korea ever made a sci-fi film about an alien invasion?
No, if you put it this way, it should be in a sci-fi movie made by the Americans, and then North Korea is set as a place to be ravaged by aliens...
Americans are so damn harmful.
"let me see."
While talking, Fangzheng made a gesture, and soon, another surveillance screen was pulled in front of Fangzheng, and then quickly zoomed in. It didn't take long for Fang Zheng to find the traces of the aliens flying through the mountains, attacking those villages and capturing humans.
Their appearance looks a bit like octopus creatures, the whole body is covered with silver-white armor, only the bright red tender meat and tentacles are exposed on the back...
"Oh, so it's this thing..."
Seeing this, Fangzheng also suddenly realized, after all, he had played games in his previous life, so he knew what it was, and at that time, Fangzheng's favorite thing to do was picking shells.
"Well... so it seems..."
Looking at the picture in front of him, Fangzheng thought for a moment, then smiled.
"Just so, let's treat this as a gift... Iona."
"Yes, Commander."
"Carry out a comprehensive scan of all alien biomes and summarize the information, just treat it as a gift to them."
"clear."
At the same time, in the underground air-raid shelter in the imperial capital, people are still having heated discussions. The target of the discussion is naturally related to that strange silver-white fleet.
Although judging from the results, the other party obviously helped them resist the attacks of those alien forces, but they have not revealed their identities and have not tried to contact them. This makes many people, whether they are politicians or scientists, a little worried. Although for now, those silver-white battleships obviously seem to be on their side, but this is only an appearance.
No one is sure whether the other party intends to draw a prison, but they are just being raised as pigs in a pen.
"Is the other party still not responding?"
"Yes."
In the face of high-level inquiries, experts and professors from the Academy of Sciences nodded.
"We have used almost all means to try to communicate our opinions to the other party, but there is still no response."
"So, do you think these strange aliens are good or bad for us?"
"This………"
In the face of high-level inquiries, the experts from the Academy of Sciences suddenly didn't know what to say. If they said yes, why didn't they communicate? Don't you think it's necessary? But if it's bad...then if they do something to anger the other party, the result will be even worse.
After all, even the huge alien battleships that wiped out the entire city with one blow were completely destroyed by the artillery fire of these fleets. It is conceivable that this fleet obviously possesses superpowers above that.
"Report!"
At this moment, suddenly, a soldier broke in.
"A silver-white battleship has arrived above our air-raid shelter!"
"what?!"
Hearing this, everyone was taken aback. They hurriedly looked at the screen behind them. At the same time, the outside picture also appeared on the screen. In the picture, a silver-white warship was floating outside the air-raid shelter. The soldiers in charge of the defense were also very nervous, clenched their weapons tightly. Facing this unexpected presence, no one was sure whether the opponent's intentions were good or bad.
"Should we..."
"do not panic!"
After stopping the guard commander, the old man in charge stared at the screen.
"Let's see what these guests actually want to do."
Soon, under the gaze of everyone, a white beam of light was projected from the battleship, and then a small silver ball fell from it. It looked about the size of a basketball, without any pattern on the outside. It seems to be just a ball made of metal.
After putting down the ball, the silver battleship quickly flew away, leaving only the ball suspended in mid-air.
Seeing this, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
What on earth is this?
Soon, the ball was immediately sent to a secret room in the air-raid shelter under heavy guard. At the same time, scholars and experts from the Academy of Sciences also came here one after another, looking at the ball in front of them.
"Is this... just a ball?"
"No, in fact..."
The soldier in charge of guarding the ball replied in confusion, then he stretched out his hand and touched the ball lightly. Soon, a map of the earth appeared on the surface of the originally empty sphere. Not only that, but four colors of red, yellow, blue, and green were used to indicate the territory of a country in the southeast, northwest, respectively.
"what is this?"
Seeing this, the executives couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Could it be that this is some kind of jigsaw puzzle gifted to him by aliens?
However, seeing this scene, some scientists' eyes suddenly brightened.
"This is a four-color conjecture! Sure enough, we guessed right!"
"Four-color conjecture?"
"Yes."
Hearing the inquiry from the elders beside him, the scientist hurriedly explained to him.
"This was put forward by a British college student named Goodley. What he wanted to ask at the time was that any map that only uses four colors can make countries with common borders different colors. What is it? What is the principle. From a mathematical point of view, it is shown that the plane is arbitrarily subdivided into non-overlapping areas, and each area can always be marked with one of the four numbers 1234 without causing adjacent areas to get the same number .”
"This is really interesting."
Hearing this, the high-level leaders were also quite curious. After all, they would not be exposed to this kind of cold knowledge, and it sounds very interesting, but...
"What does this have to do with this ball?"
"This is an exam question. The other party obviously wants to use this method to confirm whether our civilization level has reached the level of dialogue with them. If we solve this puzzle, then we can go further!"
"So, can we solve this problem?"
Although the higher-ups don't quite know what the four-color conjecture is, they also know that if they can solve this mystery, it may be the first step to communicate with alien civilizations!
"This... is very difficult. To be honest, so far, the four-color conjectures have not been completely solved, and the previous four-color conjectures were all chosen by us to fill the area, but this time, the other party has designated red, yellow, blue and green four A basic standard point, we must complete the four-color conjecture on this basis, which requires the support of supercomputing..."
"No problem, from now on, all units across the country will do their best to cooperate with you to complete the task! Just tell us what you need, we only ask you to solve the problem in the shortest possible time!"
Compared with those excited scientists, high-level politicians think more. Perhaps for scientists, this is just a test question. After passing the test, they can get the qualification to communicate with higher civilizations.
But what if you fail the exam?
Will they be treated as savage creatures with no sense of communication?
As a civilization that has continued the tradition of examinations for thousands of years, they are very clear that things like "exams" are not just good things.
No, this should be considered a "palace test" for them.
Just like the emperor issued a couplet "a group of wild geese fly south", if you want to say "two roast ducks go north", it must be pulled out and roasted...
At the same time, in the battleship, Iona was still sitting like a duck, sitting on the table next to Fangzheng.
"Commander, is there any point in doing this?"
Iona looked at Fangzheng suspiciously. All the information collected by the Blue Fleet before had been completely stuffed into the ball, but what Iona didn't expect was that Fangzheng actually encrypted the ball once, and then Just send it over. From Iona's point of view, since it's sending information, it's fine to send it directly, why bother?
"Simply put, it's a kind of stimulation, it's better than doing nothing well."
Fangzheng shook his head. He did this in accordance with the civilization contact method of the forerunners in Mass Effect, and it can be regarded as a reminder to his compatriots in this world. After all, this is just a world of dog food. Fangzheng left after brushing. But it is not sure whether there will be aliens in this world in the future. If Fangzheng directly provides aid and the other party accepts it directly, then maybe he will suffer a disadvantage next time.
Just in case, it's better to follow the rules, which is better for both parties.
"Also, there is one more thing... Commander."
"Um?"
"Lafite discovered in the delta quadrant the light-speed transmission information fluctuations that communicate with the solar system."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Fangzheng frowned.
"let me see."
"Yes."
Accompanied by Fang Zheng's words, Iona waved her hand lightly, and soon, the picture in front of her eyes changed again, and then she saw a square that looked almost as big as a planet in the infinite starry sky, similar to a Rubik's cube. The object is heading in the direction of the solar system...
"Is this..."
Seeing this, Fang's face changed slightly.
Sure enough, the difficulty of Nightmare IV is not that simple.
