Chapter 222: The Ghost Signal

“We seem to be in trouble. That lost robotic empire has lost its mind and issued a mission to find a barrier planet. We will soon become the target of everyone.
The scientist from the Conqueror Empire gave such a warning.
Their families were nobles in the empire, and only this status allowed them to work in the Royal Research Institute, which was regarded as the core of the empire.
Although the Conqueror Empire was a civilization that practiced absolute monarchism, and the Emperor was the supreme authority of the entire civilization, education was still highly valued in the civilization.
The nobles of the Empire were not all good for nothing. The nobles who enjoyed generous resources and concentrated treatment were obviously more cultured than the other lower classes, especially the Emperor.
The imperial power of the Conqueror Empire had become eternal in the technological and cultural environment. All the possible successors had received the strictest, even cruel, imperial education.
Generally speaking, every Emperor of the Conqueror Empire would theoretically be a wise, mighty, and infallible Saint Monarch.
However, the real situation was often not like this.
The corruption brought about by time was far more profound than they had imagined. The rigid system and concentrated selfish desires were the main culprits that led to their decline.
The technology of the Conqueror Empire was not enough to achieve immortality. More than one Emperor was already doing something stupid like finding the elixir of immortality, something only native emperors would do.
If it weren’t for the fact that there were a few Saint Monarchs who had managed to operate a powerful military force for the Conqueror Empire, the Conqueror Empire would have long fallen into decline.
Although the Conquerors Empire was the most powerful civilization in the Milky Way, it was just the afterglow of the sunset.
Then, did no one in the civilization realize this problem?
The answer was definitely yes, but those people either subconsciously ignored this matter or did not want to change it at all.
After all, the normal decline of a civilization often took thousands of years, and the moment of its end was not theirs yet.
They could totally hypnotize themselves that the Imperium was in its heyday and follow their own desires. What did the destruction of the Imperium thousands or even tens of thousands of years later have to do with them?
It was a pity that civilization itself was declining, but its strength was increasing instead of decreasing.
The special battleships they obtained from the barrier planet became the source of their confidence, and more and more people in the Empire saw this barrier planet as a part of their civilization.
Even the Emperor was the same.
“The entire Milky Way should belong to the Emperor. The Emperor pitied the people’s hardships and gave the other starfields to his subjects to manage. Now, this group of people was actually ungrateful and wanted to go against their Emperor for the orders of a group of iron cans?”
A scientist from the Royal Academy of Sciences spoke out indignantly. His words were full of abuse and hatred, and he looked like a close minister of the Emperor.
When the other scientists learned about this scientist, they all sighed in their hearts and ignored his anger. Instead, they were worried about how to help the dynasty survive this crisis.
Unlike other scientists who had received noble education from a young age and could maintain a stable mentality at all times, this scientist was promoted from the lower class.
Although he was talented and intelligent, under the distorted education and cultural environment, he had become a fanatic fan of the Emperor. As long as it involved the Emperor, he would be excited.
The other scientists saw it even more clearly. They knew very well that the Administrator would not randomly give out missions.
Based on past experience, after the mission issued by the Administrator was submitted, the lost robotic empire would personally verify the authenticity of the matter.
Such a civilization wanted to find a barrier planet and even mobilized the entire Milky Way for it. The Conqueror Empire didn’t think that the news of their barrier planet couldn’t reach the Administrator.
At that time, regardless of whether the Administrator just wanted to take a look or wanted to attack the barrier planet, it would be a huge blow to the Emperor’s dignity and the empire’s face.
“Moreover… We happen to have something here that will definitely attract the Administrator…” A scientist from the Conqueror Empire was pessimistic.
As he muttered to himself, a set of comparison data instantly appeared in front of the group of scientists.
“This is a mission that the Administrator had once issued: Look for a special spaceship of this style…”
The data comparison map instantly shrunk and was replaced by a blurry image.
This picture came from a search mission of the Administrator. It recorded a strange battleship made of geometric metal blocks.
As they could not find it for a long time, this mission gradually faded out of the vision of the Milky Way civilization and was soon forgotten.
But now, some scientists had a flash of inspiration. They compared the mission information of the Administrator and quickly found similarities with the battleships that were made of regular or irregular geometry.
Although they were not 100% sure that the two types of battleships represented the same civilization, the similarity of some key nodes was enough for these scientists to treat them as the same thing.
They believed that the Administrator’s targets included the strange battleships that were already under their control, and the barrier planet was one of them.
They had two things that the Administrator was interested in at the same time. Sooner or later, they would meet the Administrator.
The price that those who threatened the other civilizations to support the Galaxy Imperium at the conference was that they had already exposed the barrier planet and the weird fleet.
Even though they seemed to be the most powerful in the Milky Way, they were very clear about the level of the Administrator. It was not difficult for one civilization to defeat ten of them.
If it wasn’t necessary, they didn’t want to have any conflict with the Administrator.
“You all know the Emperor’s temper. We can’t just bring bad news to him…”
The scientists of the Conqueror Empire began to have a headache about how to minimize the risk of the matter. However, one of the scientists who had been immersed in research suddenly exclaimed, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.
He ignored the heavy atmosphere in the laboratory and announced his discovery enthusiastically:
“Hey! Guys, look what I found! Do you still remember the strange signal found on the barrier planet?”
“From the very beginning, I noticed that those signals were somewhat familiar, as if I had seen them not long ago.”
“The facts prove that my guess is correct! That signal is extremely similar to the ghost signal that the Administrator sent out when it was abnormal.. They seem to be products of the same origin!”
