Central Star Sea, Abyss of Stars, the headquarters of the overseers of the Federation of Radiance.

The responsibilities of the monitor are different from those of secret intelligence agencies. This is a pan-universe public intelligence department that basically does not involve the overt and covert politics of high-level civilizations. Most of the time, the monitor departments of the three major civilizations will cooperate in actions to investigate various special phenomena.

Monitoring and tracing can prevent possible disasters and nip them in their bud in a timely manner, with considerable authority.

At this moment, in the conference room of the organization's headquarters, a group of senior executives were sitting around a round table, discussing emergencies reported by the Ancient Star Desert Monitor branch.

A cosmic-level energy explosion is a top-line emergency at any time and requires high-level meetings to discuss.

"The content of the report is very detailed, and the causes and consequences are clear. A group of scavengers dug out the safe of an unknown civilization and released the source of the incident. It belongs to the second category of accidents. However, when the supervisor team was conducting field surveys, the traces of the ruins had disappeared. It was suspected that it was

The projection of high-dimensional information states interferes with reality... The most important question now is what exactly they released, why there was a cosmic-level energy explosion, and what impact it would have."

A sickly looking humanoid male creature spoke. He was tall and thin like a bamboo pole, his skin was pale purple with natural white lines, his eyes were long and narrow, and his pupils were crystal yellow.

Sidruen Purple Fire Kona, the top executive of the Radiant Federation's supervisory department, a super A-level seed, and a top expert in the natural disaster level. He is a multi-racial mixed-race, and his main bloodline comes from the Deveni people, a super team.

A species with superior talents.

The Federation of Radiance itself is a multi-racial mixed system, and mixed-race people are an important part of the nation.

Due to the beliefs, preferences, appearance and other factors of different races, racial issues have always been a stubborn problem for Glory, but now everyone has become accustomed to it, and if we just get along, we can get away with it.

"These archeologists always fail to learn lessons." Someone looked hesitant, "How many of the well-known cosmic disasters in history, whether it is organic extinction viruses or dormant collective consciousness distortion monsters, are caused by archeology?"

"It can't be said that many of our early technologies came from the reverse engineering of ancient civilizations. Besides, compared with the disasters caused by the loss of control of advanced technology, the outbreak of social conflicts, and the invasion of foreign enemies, archeology does not account for a large proportion." Xi.

Drouen shook his head feebly.

At this time, a senior executive looked through the past records and muttered: "In other words, it was rare for high-dimensional information states to interfere with reality before. Since the beginning of exploration, this phenomenon seems to have become more frequent."

"According to statistics from the predecessor of the Oversight Department, during the exploration wars, the average number of information state interferences that occurred within the universe per year was 467. This only counts the events that were discovered and recorded. And in the past one hundred years

Later, this number increased to 2,150 times, nearly five times. Although this is due to the advancement of our detection methods, it is also true that the frequency of information state interference has increased."

"Information state has always been an important research direction for advanced civilizations. We are only responsible for submitting reports. Regardless of the specific scientific research, what you mentioned is the work of scientists, not our responsibility." Siddrun waved his hand, looking uninterested.

expression.

Sitting in his position, it is understandable that he feels tired. The Supervisory Department is responsible for wiping the butt everywhere. A senior executive at his level will see a bunch of inexplicable interstellar citizens wandering around to commit suicide every day, causing trouble for him.

It's like watching a bunch of naughty kids making trouble everywhere.

And no matter how he tries to remedy it, countless things will still break out the next day. If he has a bad temper, he can experience the feeling of an explosive mentality every day.

If this goes on for a long time, people will become Buddhas and fish will become salty.

Everyone here is not a researcher and has limited understanding of the causes of information state projection. In their limited understanding, this phenomenon is like a special mirage. The difference is that it is not limited by time and space and can really interfere with reality.

Another senior executive said sternly: "After comparison, there are no matching cases in the database for the unknown civilization text submitted by the scavengers. If this is an information state projection, the source either comes from an extremely ancient civilization or from an unexplored

A civilization that exists somewhere in the universe.”

Although the three major civilizations are the well-deserved overlords of the universe today, they are not omniscient and omnipotent. They neither know what existed in the extremely ancient times nor how many civilizations there are in the unexplored universe at present, and they have never stopped exploring and researching.

"Have you found any adverse effects?" Sidrun asked.

"Not yet. The specific details are still being thoroughly investigated. It is still impossible to predict what type of disaster this will be. It may not even be a disaster."

Everyone shook their heads.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded:

"This is a disaster in the virtual realm."

The scene in the center of the round table suddenly changed into the face of Lao Maitou.

Seeing this scene, the whole place was in an uproar.

"Tool Nation Manison!" Sidrun's face darkened, with a green look on his face, "How dare you invade the official organization's network!"

The faces of everyone present were ugly. Manison had too many criminal records. All official agencies of the Federation of Light were guarding Lao Mai next door like thieves, for fear that their intelligence information would be stolen by the other party.

There is a proverb in the universe that says well, you can't expect a virtual mechanic to be moral. They are like crooks in a casino. It is their nature to peek at other people's cards.

"It's not the first time, so why are you surprised?" Manison said calmly, "I'm just here to provide information this time."

"I don't believe it!" Sidrun gritted his teeth.

You can knock on the door, but you have to run and climb through the window. You will die if you send a communication request. It's not like we won't answer it.

"This is faster. I don't like to wait." Manison said slowly: "And this disaster is brewing. Every second of delay will make it more serious."

Hearing this, Sidrun suppressed his green anger temporarily and frowned: "What did you find?"

Manison showed the broken information packet he intercepted and explained:

"Not long ago, a special information packet invaded my sub-base. After it failed, it tried to self-destruct. I intercepted part of it. I saw its general structure and found that it might be an unknown quantum network virus. Every

Each information packet is a source of infection, constantly replicating itself, and has strong camouflage, penetrability, and contagion.

I have tracked it down and found that this virus is spreading rapidly in the quantum network of the ancient star desert. It has probably penetrated countless nodes. Counting the days, this virus may be related to the cosmic-level energy explosion some time ago, so I came here to inform you.

.”

Looking at the various materials displayed by Manison, the faces of the supervisory officials present gradually became serious, believing this statement.

"It turns out to be a new type of network virus in the virtual field." Siddrun felt a headache. "Quantum network is one of the cornerstones of interstellar society. This highly contagious virtual virus is the most troublesome. If you are not careful, it will evolve into a star cluster level.

Even star-level communication paralysis, data leakage, and loss of control of intelligence... What is the specific role of this virus?"

"This virus is still in the incubation period. Once it breaks out, it will rewrite the underlying logic of the infected intelligence, input instructions to kill living creatures, and set off a mechanical rebellion." Manison said calmly, acting like he answered all questions.

In today's interstellar society, basically every household is inseparable from machinery. Once a star field-level or even universe-level mechanical rebellion occurs, the consequences can be imagined.

Sidrun shuddered. If Manison hadn't come to summon him, the longer they delayed, the more serious the situation would have been, and it might even have shaken the foundation of the rule of the three major civilizations.

Thinking of this, Sidrun's eyes looked at Manison much softer.

When not causing trouble, this ally is quite reliable.

He suddenly stood up, his salty fish halo faded, and his whole person became serious.

"This matter is of great importance, I must report it to the President immediately!"

…

A few hours later, the leaders of the three major civilizations received the news and held an emergency joint meeting.

"...The situation is like this. Now the ancient star desert has become an infection area for this new virus. The number of infected nodes is increasing every second. Regarding the name of this event, I have named it 'Smart Plague'. We need

Take immediate measures without delay."

Badr explained the situation and expressed his position solemnly.

The leader of the Void Spirit narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Isolate the ancient star desert. Before the virus is completely eliminated, the ancient star desert is prohibited from interacting with the external quantum network, the star gate is closed, and the fleet is stationed on the outer edge of the ancient star desert.

Prevent the source of infection from leaking out in any form."

"Agree." Ulan Riel nodded.

It's like a plague that only isolation can completely eradicate.

Blocking the communications of a star field is such a big undertaking. Only the three major civilizations have such qualifications and capabilities. If the three civilizations reach a common intention, they can enforce the decree. This is the highest power granted to themselves by the three civilizations in the civilized parliament.

"Also, notify the local civilizations at all levels in the Ancient Star Desert and ask them to fully cooperate. This problem must be dealt with as soon as possible."

At this time, in order to reassure others, the three families will not take the opportunity to attack the super star cluster civilization in the ancient star desert. Otherwise, if a similar disaster happens next time, others will not cooperate, and the gain will not be worth the loss.

If the opportunity is delayed due to internal fighting and this disaster is allowed to snowball, it will shake the order foundation of interstellar society and cause a major blow to the dominance of the three major civilizations. This has countless lessons learned in history, so the three families will never allow it.

This result has occurred again and lessons have been learned.

The three major civilizations usually fight to maintain their vitality. In the face of such a disaster, they will put aside the struggle for interests and temporarily work together to overcome the difficulties.

Ulan Riel said slowly: "I suggest recruiting mechanics from all over the universe, especially Transcendent A Grade virtual mechanics who specialize in this, and call Tool Nation and Black Star over to cooperate sincerely and solve the problem together.

"

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

The other two nodded.

Since it is a disaster in the virtual field, of course, experts must be found to check it. As Tool Nation and Black Star are the leaders among virtual mechanics, they will naturally be captured by the three major civilizations.

As for the origin, cause, and principle of the disaster, there will be enough time to look for clues after the problem is solved.

Moreover, the three major civilizations are very interested in this virtual virus technology.

If it were placed in the past, this disaster would have caused the interstellar society to panic, and it might directly collapse the order and turn into a sign of chaos. However, after years of development of the three major civilizations, as long as this kind of disaster is discovered early, the risk will still be controllable.

Within the scope, the leaders of the three families were frightened but not confused.

The only hidden danger that the three of them worry about is those unstable civil forces, such as black markets, wanted criminals, rebels, etc. No matter what the reason is, as long as someone keeps the virus secretly, it will be difficult.

Maybe there will be someone behind the scenes who is adding fuel to the flames... The leaders of the three families looked at each other and saw the same worries.

…

The Black Star Cup has been in full swing for two or three months. Han Xiao has been resting for such a long time and spends a lot of time in the machinery factory every day.

He originally planned to keep a low profile for a year and a half, waiting for the three major civilizations to take action against the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance, but Han Xiao did not expect that the empire suddenly sent him a mission invitation that day, asking him to go to the ancient star desert to solve a virtual virus.
To be continued...
