After receiving an unfamiliar radio signal, the collectors panicked for a while, then calmed down and calmly analyzed the unfamiliar radio signal.

　　 "This signal is just regular and does not contain any information in it."

The 　　 signal does not contain any linguistic information. It is just a simple rule of existence. First, there are three long-frequency waves, then three short-frequency waves, and then three long-frequency waves, and so on.

The power of the 　　 signal is not strong, so the collectors only noticed this series of regular signals a while after they arrived.

　　 "It may be providing coordinates or a distress signal."

　　 "Help?"

"Yes, on the Empire side, if there is a Serine space fleet in distress, some radio bands that are easy to be observed and not easily blocked will be used as distress signals. In this regard, the race and the empire have signed an agreement. If an individual receives a distress signal, it is obligated to carry out rescue. Conversely, if the empire receives a distress signal from an ethnic individual, it is also obliged to carry out rescue, a mutual assistance agreement.” The collector who proposed the idea explained.

　　 "The empire arrived near the black hole earlier than us?!"

　　 "This is an analogy. This series of regular signals is not the same as the distress signal in the agreement, and the empire simply does not have the ability to come to the black hole."

　　The collectors take the trouble to give explanations to their kinsmen who will misunderstand.

　　 Although it is not ruled out that regular signals are naturally formed, this possibility is very low. It is more likely that there are man-made objects that send signals at all times on that earth-like planet.

　　Artificial object, which means that it is related to a new civilization that has never been in contact with, and the collectors are suddenly excited.

　　 "I propose that we should land on that planet to see and find the source of the regular signal. Perhaps this will be an opportunity for the race to discover a new civilization. This is an opportunity not to be missed."

　　 "Agree."

　　 "Agree, it is recommended to assign the individual to go immediately."

There was basically no objection from any individual. As soon as the proposal was passed, the whole vote was passed. There is no individual collector who cares about the danger. Many collectors simply recommend themselves and express their desire to go. In the face of the interests of the ethnic group, their own Life and death don't care at all.

Soon, the collectors finalized the candidates, and five collectors were selected as the landed individuals. At the same time, they are also obliged to deliver the observation data of the surface factually to other collectors who do not have tens of millions of planets. .

　　 "When you go to that planet, pay attention to safety and don't waste resources on the race."

　　 "Understand."

　　 After briefly explaining the precautions, the five collectors split the mass of flesh that was gestating the giant organisms, and fell toward the black hole.

　　 After descending for a certain distance, they reversed their antimatter propulsion. In a strong gamma-ray beam, their descending speed began to slow down, and they landed in a straight downward state with a uniform deceleration.

　　 The scorching red lotus karmic fire envelops the falling collectors in it, which is the flame caused by atmospheric friction.

　　 "Change the appearance."

　　 The five individual collectors turned off the antimatter propulsion, changed their appearance into a soft flat biological body, and used atmospheric resistance to achieve a weak landing.

　　 They are like five towel blankets swept in the air by a strong wind, and finally fall to the surface at a relatively slow speed.

　　 "I landed safely, how about you?"

　　 Due to the randomness of the landing location, the five collectors were scattered to different locations.

　　 The replies of other collectors were quickly transmitted back to the radio channel.

　　 "I have no problem. I was hung on the rock. It will take some time to get down."

　　 "There is water on this planet. It's a great place."

　　 "This planet is still in a very early stage. There is no fine sand. There are rocks and water everywhere. There is no land. Liquid water has flooded the entire planet's surface."

　　 "Knowing that there is such a terrestrial planet next to the black hole, we don't have to organize tens of thousands of individuals to carry a large amount of material resources across the scale of five light years, which is too wasteful."

　　 For the collectors, as long as there is water, then that planet is a good place and a starting resource star that can grow the race.

　　 "Since everything is safe, then we will start searching for the signal source."

"To understanding."

　　 The collector whose appearance has turned into a flat canvas-like organism, relying on the sharp corners of the edge to support the body, its body size has been reduced compared to when it landed, and the muscle tissue allows it to act in this way.

　　 In half a meter of liquid water, the collector began to move in the direction of the signal source. They did not mean to converge, or the signal source was a good confluence point.

On the way 　　 walked, the collectors observed the environment on the surface of the planet.

　　 This planet is very flat. It is the flattest surface of the planet that the collectors have ever seen. There are no towering mountains. Except for some rocks that are at most reef-like, sparsely rising out of the water, it looks like a vast ocean.

　　 A world of water and silence.

　　 The sky is gray. The collector also analyzed the atmospheric composition by the way. The proportion of nitrogen is very high, with rare oxygen ~lightnovelpub.net~ and some other trace elements mixed in it.

　　 "A planet like this is defined as a habitable planet on the Celin side... Well, maybe the signal source was launched from a colonial ship, right?"

"It is possible, but I am more inclined to think that it is a transmitter for black hole positioning. After all, there is a black hole next to it. Even if it is a habitable planet, it is not suitable for use as a resident star, even for us. , And would not choose such a planet with a black hole beside it."

　　 "That's because the race needs a feedback signal to implement sub-light speed deceleration. If this is not there, it is also possible to collect the resources of this planet for the development of the race.

　　 "You are really greedy."

　　 "How can ethnic affairs be called greed? This is a necessary nutrient for the growth of ethnic groups."

Walking all the way and talking all the way, the collectors unknowingly traveled hundreds of kilometers away, and finally saw their destination. In the distance is a structure shaped like a metal box, which can be judged at a glance as a personal creation. ,very obvious.

　　 "I see the end."

　　 "I saw it too."

　　 "Then let's get there quickly to complete the rendezvous."

　　 The collectors who saw the man-made objects were all excited, because this is the existence of a new civilization, and the technical level is not low, otherwise it would never be possible to reach the earth-like planet next to the black hole.

　　 It's just that the collectors haven't been happy for long. Something happened on the surface. The ground began to tremble violently, and the roaring sound quivered the air. From the distant horizon, a vague white line could be seen faintly.
