Ghost signal, this was a sword that had always been hanging over the head of the Milky Way civilization.
The beginning of this crisis was due to the spread of the ghost signal. Although it was not clear, the civilizations of the Milky Way still attributed the ghost signal produced by the Administrator a long time ago to this unexpected enemy crisis.
They believed that the unusual ghost signal must have had some unknown effect.
The truth was indeed close to their guess. The spread of the ghost signal revealed the location of many key galaxies to Li Wenyuan and also provided him with extremely important information.
And the crisis of the unexpected enemy had already officially begun from the 20-year countdown.
However, just like accidents that always happened, the unexpected enemy didn’t always follow the predicted time.
It had once betrayed the administration matrix, so it was normal for it to conduct the Milky Way Exam at an unexpected time.
When there was still a long time before the countdown ended, it was activated again by manual activation and announced that it would purify the galaxy.
The sudden and extremely destructive ghost signal caused huge losses to the Milky Way civilization. However, it came and went quickly, and a few months passed in the blink of an eye.
This speed was not even comparable to the spread time of some epidemic diseases, but it had never been underestimated by the civilizations of the Milky Way.
After all, it wasn’t like the Administrator hadn’t used it before. Such a strange signal virus had always been classified as a weapon.
However, during the battle with the unexpected enemy, no one detected any signs of the ghost signal being activated again. Neither the unexpected enemy nor the Administrator group detected anything.
At first, they thought that the ghost signal was no longer useful to these two artificial intelligences, so they did not use it on the battlefield.
However, after the increasingly violent domestic riots were exposed, they realized that the confrontation had already begun in secret, but the target was them.
[ The vaccine program has been installed along with the ghost signal. All civilizations will no longer be affected by the ghost signal. ]
The Administrator’s announcement still lingered in the hearts of every high-ranking official who knew about it.
Many self-proclaimed genius network engineers had long begun to screen for traces of the ghost signal infection in the civilized network.
Their professional knowledge had told them that everything was normal, but after the Administrator exposed the plot of the unexpected enemy, they realized that the perfect firewall had long been penetrated.
Perhaps, when they were first infected by the ghost signal, the seeds of the disaster had already been planted in those places, waiting for the right time to erupt.
Countless seemingly normal nodes were marked and interrupted by some conspicuous signal, and then the engineers repaired them.
The images of the Stargate Battle that had been circulating on the Internet were confirmed to have been leaked by these foreign nodes.
Other than that, the origin of the nodes eventually pointed to countless abandoned buildings.
Some of them were hidden in the depths of the forest, while others were hidden in space junk. The machines that were pieced together were operating in them, and some of the robots that had disappeared were also hidden there.
After putting on the bionic coat, these disguised infiltrators added fuel to the fire in public opinion. At the same time, they secretly planned a series of sabotage and assassination operations.
Even if they could only trace it to this point, there was no need to say much about the mastermind behind these events.
This made the civilizations of the Milky Way break out in a cold sweat. The Milky Way Crisis they were facing, even if they were far more powerful than them, would still use such despicable means to increase the probability of achieving their goals.
They were even thinking that if they were also powerful, would they also treat enemies who were far weaker than them as opponents in war?
Although the curse left behind by the unexpected enemy had caused trouble and even harm to many civilizations, none of the idealistic civilizations and the beehive civilizations had been affected.
The idealistic civilization, which often used psionic communication, could tell at a glance that those in the bionic coat were not humans, while the collective mind of the beehive civilization had never allowed them to have infiltrators.
The internal worries of the civilization had been temporarily resolved. After knowing the cause and with the help of the vaccine planted by the Administrator in the civilization network, the chaos was confirmed to be caused by the enemies of the galaxy.
After a large number of bionic factories were destroyed, the civilizations returned to a stable state. Although the martial law was severe, it was much better than the previous riots.
What they needed the most now was their attention. It was the further increase in the intensity of the war, as well as the new aid that the Administrator had opened up.
The contents of the announcement hadn’t changed, but there was something new in the assistance column.
[ In order to increase the probability of resolving the crisis, you can seek the following assistance from me. ]
[ 1. Administrator Fleet; 2. Resources you need; 3. Research reinforcement; 4. Shelter; 5: Shelter; 6: Shelter ]
[ Remark: The Purification Terminal is very dangerous. 1 hope this can help you. ]
Unlike the expected new reinforcements, the additional sanctuary was also a sanctuary. This strange situation instantly triggered a fierce debate.
All the civilizations instantly realized that something was not right, just like what the Civilization Annihilator had done in the past.
When the caterpillar fungus disease was raging, they were asked to take refuge in order to prevent the crisis from spreading to the greatest extent.
At that time, the background of this situation was the disguised Benevolent Host, who believed that this would increase the probability of solving the crisis. Only by reducing the defense area could they concentrate on fighting against the enemy in the galaxy.
And now, the extra shelter choices seemed to indicate the same reason:
The Administrator might not be able to hold on any longer. He had to use this last resort to preserve the tinder.
The extra sanctuary might be enough to accommodate the civilizations of the entire galaxy.
This undoubtedly made some of the Milky Way civilizations, who regarded the Administrator as their savior, panic. They never thought that the Administrator, who seemed to be synonymous with invincible, would actually be unable to hold on one day.
However, since the Administrator did not directly ask them to take refuge, most civilizations still felt that holding their current position was the best choice.
Even the Pyro Alliance, which had always trusted the Administrators, was hesitant.
If the Administrator had ordered them to take refuge, they would have done it without hesitation. Now, this ambiguous hint made them unable to make up their minds.
Therefore, even if the assistance of the Administrator had changed, the Milky Way civilization had generally maintained the same state as before. They held their ground and relied on the Administrator Fleet to catch the fish that slipped through the net.
They didn’t idle around to develop themselves either. With the near-infinite resources provided by the Administrator and scientific research assistance, they were also making extraordinary progress.
Technology that they had never dared to think of before, such as the warp drive, was also inspired.
They hoped that the Administrator could hold on for a while longer until they could turn the tide.
The battleships were still exchanging fire in different galaxies. The space zone of the unexpected enemy was getting larger and larger, and it seemed that everything was being purified.
The situation did not look optimistic, but the real leader of the crisis, Li Wenyuan, knew that everything was under control.
He had already figured out the maximum capacity of the active purification agreement. It was a fool’s dream for those Al Planets to compete with him, who controlled countless megastructures.
In addition, the real core galaxies of the active purification agreement had long been under the surveillance of the Tiangang Battleship and would be captured into subspace at the slightest anomaly.
Now, he felt that the situation was almost ready. It was time to enter the final stage, starting with the galaxy he was looking at.
This was a stage galaxy that he had built during his free time during the war. A large number of construction ships came in and out of this place when no one was paying attention, setting up the props necessary for the performance.
It was a super megastructure that surrounded the central star. The ring of the star that was constantly rotating made it look exactly like a central processing unit.
Of course, this was not a real central processing unit. It was just a temporary imitation made of cheap materials. It would naturally collapse in less than ten years.
In order to match his image of having a 4% computing power, the replica had even been post-processed to show that it was missing and aging, making it look like it had been running for many years and was on the verge of collapse.
It wouldn’t be long before this counterfeit central processing unit was destroyed by the unexpected enemy, and the scene that happened in the administration matrix would be played out.
And this, perhaps, could be remembered by those civilizations with true potential in the Milky Way..
