Chapter 103 Black Tide Rift Lunar Eclipse Meeting

Chapter 103 Black Tide Rift Lunar Eclipse Meeting

Chapter 103 Black Tide Rift-Lunar Eclipse Conference (asking for monthly tickets)

Moon, Eclipse City.

Standing in a room on the top floor of a skyscraper in the core area of ​​the city.

The councillors and archons who represent the highest authority of the Eclipse Clan pass the biometric check at the door and enter the Supreme Conference Room after confirming their identity information.

The conference room covers an area of ​​500 square meters. The ceiling is inlaid with automatic adjusting lights, which can automatically adjust the brightness and color temperature according to the changes in indoor and outdoor light to create the most comfortable meeting atmosphere. The indoor walls are high-definition light and shadow screens, which can switch the background and content in real time according to the needs of the meeting. At this time, a set of dynamically changing data analysis charts are displayed.

There is a circular conference table in the center of the meeting room. The center part is empty and 18 black seats are placed on the edge.

In front of each seat, there is a projection display area connected to the intelligent computer "Star Network".

After the top leaders of the Eclipse Clan took their seats one after another, light and shadow intertwined in the center of the conference table, forming a cute-looking Eclipse Clan boy.

This is the core of the wisdom of the Eclipse Clan, and also the "Star Network" intelligent brain that regulates the order of the Eclipse Clan.

Seeing Starnet appear, the 18 Eclipse Clan members attending the meeting stood up and saluted Starnet.

Although the Star Network is an intelligent computer, it is not pure life.

But its appearance allowed the Eclipse Clan to completely break free from the endless infighting and ushered in unprecedented years of development.

Including their elders and predecessors, they all govern with the assistance of the intelligent brain and contribute to the development of the Eclipse Clan.

"Good morning, Archons." StarNet responded with a smile and a bow.

After everyone sat down, Xingwang's expression suddenly became serious:
"I believe you all already know the reason for calling everyone to this meeting. I will explain the situation in detail."

After he finished speaking, Xingwang raised his hand and pointed towards the sky.

Suddenly, the interwoven light screens formed a three-dimensional projection image above the star network, in which an explorer aircraft was speeding across the glacier.

Not long after, the explorer aircraft suddenly hovered in the air, and then released countless small drones to fly into the sky.

The projection screen is also divided into several blocks at this time to present the picture content from different perspectives.

Finally, the small drone hovered in front of a pitch-black space crack, and relevant parameters appeared on the screen.

StarNet pointed to the black space crack and introduced:

"This twisted space crack is 0.723 lunar feet (1.34 centimeters) long and 0.323 lunar feet wide. The maximum amplitude of the twisting change is 18.23%. The detected energy intensity is: 23 lunar grains."

"I extracted the indicator information from the database and determined that there is an 87.82% probability that this is a spatial rift created by a terrifying black tide."

"You were all born on the moon, so you may not know what that means."

As he spoke, StarNet raised his hand again and pointed. Suddenly the scene jumped to a world covered by starlight. A huge city was surrounded by an energy barrier and stood on the earth:
"This is the picture in the database before the catastrophe."

Looking up towards the sky above the city, one can see a mass of pitch-black matter expanding and spreading.

"This is a spatial rift that appeared before the arrival of the black tide. Other similar rifts have appeared in other places in the home world."

The screen quickly switches, showing pictures of the area where the space rift appeared.

"By comparing these cases, I found that the space rifts on Earth are very consistent with the characteristics of the terrifying black tide, which is completely different from the pattern of other races tearing through space to arrive."

"The space gap created by other races before their arrival is presented in a folded or torn way. Through the gap, you can see a clear view of another world. During this process, the space gap will fluctuate violently, and the operating world will automatically repair the gap. This process is like a living organism with its own life healing ability, just like a wound on the body will be erased as the body operates."

"The spatial rift created by the terrifying black tide behaves completely differently. It is like a mass of extra matter squeezed into the original scene. It is impossible to observe the scene on the other side of the space through this mass of spatial matter."

"It can be understood that other forces master the space jump technology, while the Terror Black Tide masters the technology of building space channels. This ball of black energy is the core material that constitutes the space channel. There is a big difference between the two. A stable space channel allows the Terror Black Tide to continuously input power into another world. There is no possibility of the world repairing itself. It is a permanent world trauma."

StarNet took a deep breath in a very human way:

"In summary, Archons, the horrific disaster that your ancestors once faced may be about to strike, and we must prepare for it in advance."

After listening to Star Network's analysis and explanation, the expressions of the Eclipse Clan leaders present all looked extremely solemn.

They will not doubt the judgment of StarNet.

In fact, Star Network’s judgment has never been wrong, and they manage the Eclipse Clan by selecting and executing the plans given by Star Network.

Including a series of arrangements after landing on Earth, they were all arranged by the Star Network.

Before their home world was completely swallowed up by the terrifying black tide, their ancestors divided into five groups and crossed the world barriers to go to different worlds.

Among them, the main vein carrying the intelligent brain star network landed on Earth, and they are the direct ancestors of their generation.

At the beginning of the advent stage, the Earth Human Alliance was engaged in a brutal war with the "Red Flame Clan".

Through observation, they found that the human race on Earth was the indigenous people of this planet, and the Red Flame Clan was an extraterritorial force that arrived like them.

After learning the details of the earth, the top leaders of the then ruling Eclipse Clan proposed a transformation plan.

The core of this plan is to destroy all civilizations on Earth and transform the Earth's environment and climate into a living space suitable for the Eclipse Clan. From now on, the Eclipse Clan will use the Earth as a starting point to start a new year of development.

Because the Eclipse Clan discovered that neither the native human races on Earth nor the invading Red Flame Clan had the combat power and technology to compete with the Eclipse Clan.

In theory, they can completely monopolize the earth's resources without sharing them with other intelligent races.

But this idea was rejected by Zhinao Star Network and an explanation was given.

Star Network stated that in addition to the human race and the Red Sky Clan, there are many space rifts that are being torn apart on Earth, and it is very likely that other racial forces will arrive. The war launched by the Lunar Eclipse Clan to monopolize the Earth will eventually evolve into a war between the Lunar Eclipse Clan and a large number of descending forces. Every arrival of an alien race will be a war, which is very detrimental to the development of the Lunar Eclipse Clan.

The war with the terrifying black tide has already exhausted the Eclipse Clan's resources. Continuing the war will only cause the development of the Eclipse Clan to stagnate, and they may even face the crisis of extinction again after encountering a powerful descending force.

Therefore, the idea of ​​monopolizing the Earth runs the risk of dragging the Eclipse Clan into the quagmire of war.

The most correct approach should be to unite the forces of all races, develop together, and provide an intuitive alliance template for the alien races that will arrive in the future.

Then continue to absorb and accommodate new alien systems to join this alliance.

This will prevent the earth from falling into endless wars and enable all ethnic groups to live in harmony and achieve win-win development.

Secondly, the terrifying black tide may come again, and the Eclipse Clan must be prepared to deal with it. The novel technologies brought by other alien races can also provide assistance for combat power construction.

Faced with the suggestions put forward by Star Network, the Eclipse Clan’s top leaders gave up their idea of ​​war to monopolize the Earth, and chose to build an alien alliance in accordance with Star Network’s requirements, with stability, harmony, and development as their core concepts.

The earth was in chaos at that time.

As the first alien force to descend on Earth, the Eclipse Clan chose the vacant moon as their development base.

This behavior also caused them to be called the Lunar Eclipse Clan by the Earth Alliance forces at the time, which means the race that erodes the moon.

At that time, the Eclipse Clan, which had established a base on the moon, invited the Human Race and the Red Flame Clan to negotiate on the moon in order to implement the plan proposed by the Star Network.

The goal of this negotiation is to hope that the human race and the Red Flame Clan will shake hands and make peace and give up the war.

The Human Alliance agreed to the Eclipse Clan's request at this meeting.

But this request was rejected by the Red Flame Clan.

Unlike the situation of the Eclipse Clan, when the Red Flame Clan fled to Earth and crossed the space barrier, due to technical defects, a large amount of technical data they carried was lost, and nearly half of the clan members were swallowed up by the distorted space channel.

After landing on Earth, they were in a very bad situation.

When they discovered that Earth's civilization was not strong enough to compete with them, the Red Flame Clan's leaders had the same idea as the Eclipse Clan's leaders when they first arrived, which was to monopolize Earth.

To this end, they exhausted the last resources they carried and went into war with the human race on Earth.

(ps: The Red Flame Clan was briefly mentioned in Chapter 8.)
But even the Red Flame Clan, which was in a desperate situation, was no match for the human alliance, and the war became one-sided.

Faced with the impending victory, the Red Flame Clan was unwilling to accept peace talks and wanted to wipe out the human race in one fell swoop.

The Red Flame Tribe's choice of war ran counter to the racial alliance that the Eclipse Tribe was planning to build, so the Eclipse Tribe took action.

They did not directly participate in the war, but helped the human race fight the Red Flame Tribe by providing technology and war machines.

The brutal war finally ended with the victory of the human alliance.

Thus, the human race became the first alien partner of the Eclipse Clan.

During the years of peaceful development, the Human Alliance also reorganized its political system and changed to the Human Federation.

During this period, the Eclipse Clan provided the Human Federation with a large number of novel technologies, helping the human race to improve its technology, and the human race's development ushered in an explosive leap forward.

Since then, new alien forces have continued to arrive and join the alien alliance formed by the Eclipse Clan, but there are also forces that are unwilling to cooperate.

For example, the mechanical clan.

After this alien force descended on Earth, the Human Federation once again fell into a period of darkness, which is known in human history as the Mechanical War.

The Eclipse Clan did not participate in this battle, but provided technology and weapons to help the human race fight. During this period, a large number of alien alliances also came to help, fighting against the Mechanical Clan in local areas for the Human Federation.

The brutal war ended with the complete destruction of the mechanical army.

This war also caused great damage to the human federation and a sharp decline in population.

In order to allow the inter-ethnic alliance to cooperate and develop in an orderly manner.

After the end of the Mechanical War, the Eclipse Clan proposed the construction of a new technology, which requires the participation of all forces in the Alien Alliance. The purpose is to create a network world where all clans can communicate and exchange technology conveniently.

This interconnection technology is built with the Eclipse Clan's highest intelligent brain as its core, so it is also called the Star Network.

Thus, the StarNet era has arrived.

What followed was the advent of the virtual age, with virtual devices and virtual content gradually entering thousands of households.

The alien alliance initiated by the Eclipse Clan also brought the Eclipse Clan a precious period of peaceful development. The technology provided by the alien races also enabled the Eclipse Clan to make substantial breakthroughs in many new fields.

History has proven that StarNet can always find the best option for the Eclipse Clan under limited conditions.

Hearing Star Network say that there was a high probability that a terrifying black tide would arrive, the hearts of the Eclipse Clan leaders instantly tensed up, for they knew that Star Network's judgment would never be wrong.

The probability of 87.82% is already very high. The Eclipse Clan must prepare for war in advance to resist the terrifying black tide.

At this moment, Xingwang interrupted the thoughts of the Eclipse Clan leaders present:

"I want to know, if war comes, which way will you choose to deal with it? Tell me what you think?"

In response to StarNet's question, the Archon sitting in the first seat said in a deep voice:
"Can we find a safe new world in advance? When the crisis comes, our people can flee to another world that has not been infiltrated by the terrifying black tide."

Hearing this answer, Xingwang showed a humane helpless expression on his face:
"In fact, I have already implemented your idea 213 years in advance. I need to consider potential risks and crises in advance, so I have long assumed whether my tribe can find a way to evacuate when a terrifying black tide or a crisis that my tribe cannot resist comes."

"After 213 years of exploration, a total of 13293 shuttles have disconnected from me, but I still haven't been able to find a clean world that has not been infiltrated by the Black Tide."

“So your idea is not feasible.”

After listening to Star Network's explanation, the Eclipse Clan leaders fell silent.

At this moment, the Eclipse member sitting in Archon No. 5 spoke up:
"I propose to focus on developing gene enhancement technology to fight against the terrifying black tide. I remember you once said that the top technology of our race is gene modification technology, but after landing on Earth, due to the lack of resources, the core content of this technology has never been activated."

StarNet turned to look at the Archon who was speaking, sighed and shook his head regretfully:

"Genetic modification technology can indeed be regarded as the pinnacle technology of our race. It has brought us many powerful warriors who can fight against high-tech hot weapons with their flesh and blood and dismantle steel fortresses with their bare hands. However, the core content of this technology has been sealed up. In addition to the problem of insufficient resources, there is also a key flaw that cannot be solved."

Facing the doubts raised by the archons, StarNet continued to explain:
"The reason is very simple. The continuous transformation and upgrading brought about by the gene optimization technology has allowed the warriors of the Eclipse Clan to grow in a way of genetic mutation. The continuously optimized gene sequence has allowed the best among them to become a new life that surpasses the Eclipse Clan."

Having said that, Xingwang raised his hand and pointed, and suddenly a five-meter-tall Eclipse giant with taut muscles appeared in the light and shadow picture.

"He is the super gene warrior numbered SS111, and the strongest gene warrior created by our gene optimization technology. He has a strong life-healing ability, ultra-high-density bones and muscle tissue, and rippled skin that can resist thermal weapons... He is even strong enough to fight in an environment with ultra-high radiation, but he is not a member of the Eclipse Tribe that I have certified. The moment he appeared, his identity code was excluded from the Eclipse Tribe registration information."

At this point, StarNet took a deep breath:

"Because he is no longer a member of the Eclipse Clan in the physical sense."

"Before I was born, there was this piece of information in my underlying operating law. This piece of information is the genetic sequence code of all the Eclipse people, and it is also the only criterion for me to judge the Eclipse people."

"You have to understand that in my eyes, I don't identify people as Eclipse people by their names, appearances, or spiritual self-identification. Nor can I identify them as Eclipse people by a string of identity authentication codes in the database. This kind of authentication is a very abstract concept. If people can be considered Eclipse people just by their names and self-identification, then if an alien joins our group as a spiritual Eclipse and changes his appearance to get your approval, does that also count as an Eclipse person?"

"In order to prevent the possibility of the Eclipse Clan being gradually infiltrated and replaced by other forces, my creator set up the underlying logic for me before I was born. How to identify the Eclipse Clan members, and the key to this underlying logic is the gene sequence library."

"So in my opinion, the Eclipse Tribe is judged by their genetic sequence."

"The development of this powerful technology of genetic modification did not stop after the refugees came to Earth, but when the Eclipse Clan was at its peak, before the terrifying black tide arrived."

"The excessive genetic optimization and transformation made the genetic warriors of my tribe more and more unfamiliar to me, and gradually deviated from my recognition of the Lunar Eclipse Tribe. This caused the weapons of war I controlled to be damaged during the war. Because their existence violated my underlying logic, they could not be identified as Lunar Eclipse Tribe members during the war."

"From a logical point of view, they are from the Eclipse Tribe in my eyes. They just underwent genetic modification which caused gene mutation. However, from the underlying logic, they are not from the Eclipse Tribe because their gene sequence does not match that of the Eclipse Tribe."

"The appearance of Super Gene Warrior SSS111 completely broke the last taboo of gene sequence authentication. So from the moment he was born, I kicked him out of the identity authentication database of the Lunar Eclipse Clan. In my eyes, he became a brand new life. He may be an ally of the Lunar Eclipse Clan, but he is definitely not a Lunar Eclipse Clan member in my eyes, and he cannot enjoy the information treatment I give to the Lunar Eclipse Clan members."

At this point, Xingwang glanced at the senior executives in the conference room, spread his hands and sighed in a very humane way:
"Excessive genetic modification will change your life structure. Maybe you think this is the process of life evolution and don't think there is anything wrong with it, but your life structure is no longer that of a Lunar Eclipse Tribe member, and this is exactly the core criterion by which I judge a Lunar Eclipse Tribe member."

"If one day, all the Eclipse tribe members are transformed into super gene warriors like SSS111, then theoretically none of you will be recognized by me, and you will be kicked out of the Eclipse tribe's identity authentication database. By then, in my eyes, the Eclipse tribe will have completely disappeared."

"This rule cannot be changed. It is also the underlying logic of my operation... unless that unknown mysterious force takes action again."

"So restarting the genetic modification plan is not feasible. I can only open up the basic genetic modification technology, but in order to ensure the continuation of the Eclipse Clan, I will not open up the core content to you."

After listening to StarNet’s explanation, the Eclipse Clan leaders present immediately understood the seriousness of genetic modification.

I also realized why StarNet has always kept the genetic modification technology secret.

In their eyes, super gene modification is a process of life transformation, but in the eyes of the Star Network, it is the process of the Eclipse Clan heading towards extinction.

Every additional super gene warrior like SSS111 is equivalent to a member of the Eclipse tribe being killed.

One of the core underlying logics of the Star Network is to ensure the development and safety of the Eclipse Clan.

Realizing that restarting the super gene warrior program was not feasible, the Eclipse Clan leaders present subsequently proposed a number of combat plans to deal with the terrifying black tide.

However, all these plans were rejected by Star Network, which believed that there was no possibility of defeating the terrifying black tide.

Some of these plans may be able to resist the initial stages of the terrifying black tide invasion, but they will eventually usher in the end at some point in the future.

The communication with the Star Network made the Eclipse Clan leaders present feel unprecedented pressure.

An unspeakable feeling of fear rose in their hearts.

Born on the moon, they have never experienced the natural disaster of the black tide.

However, we can also learn about that ancient history from the database carried by the Star Network.

In the war between the Eclipse Clan and the terrifying Black Tide before they fled, even though the Eclipse Clan used all their resources to fight against it, they were still no match, and the war was turning into a one-sided trend.

During this period, the terrifying black tide continued to grow in intensity during the war, while the resistance of the Eclipse Clan became increasingly weaker.

To put it in StarNet’s words: This is not a war, but a massacre.

Although they have already established a firm foothold on the moon and built an alien alliance, they are the undisputed strongest force in the alliance in the eyes of the vast majority of alien forces.

But they know better that the overall combat power of the Eclipse Clan at this stage is far inferior to that of the peak Eclipse Clan before encountering the terrifying Black Tide.

To them, this war seemed to have no chance of winning.

The conference room fell silent, and the high-ranking members of the Eclipse Clan present were disheartened.

The crisis has already occurred, but they can't think of any solution to deal with it. It seems that the only way is to wait for the doomsday to come.

At this moment, a scarlet flame appeared out of thin air above the virtual projection of the star network.

The sudden change made the high-level members of the Eclipse Clan present change color.

This is the supreme meeting room of the Eclipse Clan. They cannot understand how this external force could penetrate here.

The conference room was equipped with layers of defenses, and the entire Eclipse Building was also tightly protected by the Weapon Fortress. In addition, there were city barriers covering Eclipse City. They did not understand how an external force could quietly penetrate the multiple defenses and enter the conference room without receiving any intelligence feedback of an attack.

More importantly, StarNet did not activate the defense system in the conference room to counterattack.

Just then, a humanoid silhouette appeared in the scarlet flames.

An indescribable feeling of oppression loomed like a dark cloud, almost suffocating the high-level members of the Eclipse Clan present, as if the air had frozen at this moment.

The blurry eyes that emerged from the scarlet flames were like staring into the abyss, causing them to feel an irrepressible fear, as if their souls were tightly bound by invisible chains and unable to break free.

As the outlines in the scarlet flames became clear, a voice with endless majesty sounded from deep within their hearts, as if communicating directly with their souls.

"It looks like you need help."
