How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 552: Interrogation (Part 1)

In the dark interrogation room, three people sat opposite each other, and only a lamp on the table could be illuminated.

The two interrogators stared coldly at the person sitting across from them, as if they were about to reveal all the secrets of the interrogator in front of them.

One of them took the lead in breaking the silence.

"Belen, an introspective native. His parents passed away unexpectedly when he was young. He was raised by his grandfather. He graduated from the National School in 1750 revolutions. After graduation, he joined the Astronomical Observatory No. 804 and published many new stars during the period. Observation data..."

"Due to his outstanding performance, he was assigned to join the ‘Cosmic Call Project’ during the 1788 revolution and participated in the national mission of searching for alien civilizations..."

"Revolving in 1805, Chakra, as the first discoverer, discovered that there is an alien civilization named Amoeba in the B star of the Seton star cluster five light-years away from us, and successfully established contact with the other party..."

"The 1815 orbiter was dismissed for sending a signal outside the star system without permission. Since then, he lost track of it. It was not until the 1834 orbiter that he was arrested and imprisoned on suspicion of joining the equality organization during the census."

After speaking, the interrogator coldly looked directly at Billen's eyes and asked.

"Is there anything I need to add?"

"No."

Billen shook his head, his face was as usual, not at all overwhelmed by the interrogator's aura.

"Can you tell us what you are hiding?" the interrogator asked.

Hearing this, Billen sighed. This is not the first time. He is already aware of current affairs and confessed all the information he has obtained from the Amoeba civilization.

He couldn't say anything no matter how he tried to force a confession or coerce and tempt him.

"You all know what I know, I have nothing to hide."

"We want to know what kind of level the technical level of the Amoeba civilization has reached?" the interrogator continued to ask.

"I don't know about this. Amoeba did not reveal more information about civilization."

Billen said that he didn't know everything as before, and another colleague who had remained silent next to the interrogator slapped the table to his feet, shouting grimly.

"But you have to know something! You brought them in! You betrayed all the Carters on Sorri!"

"Don't get excited, sit down first." The interrogation official said.

The colleague looked at the interrogator, glared at Billun like a cannibal, and sat down again, warning Billen with bitterness.

"You'd better say everything you know, otherwise I will try to pry it out of your mouth by all means. Believe me, you will regret it at that time, why didn't you say it earlier."

One sings a white face and the other sings a red face. The interrogation skills are very simple. Billen doesn't understand very well, but he occasionally hears of it. His heart is still calm. After all, he is not afraid of death, what else would he be afraid of?

Seeing that there was no effect, the interrogator no longer tried to use this method. Instead, he looked for loopholes in Billun's words and asked questions.

"Since you don't know the technical level of amoeba, why can you be sure that amoeba is capable of crossing five light years to reach us? You must have a basis, right? Can you tell us?"

"Yes, I have a basis, relying on that I can vaguely understand what level the Amoeba civilization is."

Billen admitted frankly that because there is nothing to conceal, this information can be obtained from other channels, but the government has not collected information in that regard.

"Say it!"

The interrogator's colleague slammed the table and continued to shout with a loud voice.

"At a certain scientific seminar, someone raised the question, if there are many extraterrestrial civilizations in this universe, how should these extraterrestrial civilizations be divided?"

Billen raised such a question in his narration, and then raised the answer to this question.

"Then based on this question, someone proposed three levels of cosmic civilization. The first level is the highly developed and utilized parent planet, and the second level is the highly developed and utilized parent star. The third level is the development and utilization of the mother river system where you live."

When Billen finished speaking, the high-voice interrogator began to question eagerly.

"Then which level does our civilization belong to? What level does the Amoeba civilization belong to?"

Billen thought for a while and answered his question, "The Carter civilization belongs to the 0.6th level. If the Amoeba civilization is at the second level."

"Why are we 0.6?"

The interrogator asked inexplicably. The two of them did not have as much knowledge of science as those of academic members like Billun. In their opinion, the Carters civilization today has a very high level of technology. After the research of nuclear weapons, their civilization already possesses The power to destroy the world.

Although the Amoeba civilization seems to be stronger than that of the Carters, in their minds, even if there is a big gap, it is the kind of gap that the Carters can catch up with.

"This is based on the overall energy output value of the Carter civilization, and we imported the calculation formula to get the result~lightnovelpub.net~ We also hope that the result can be higher, but it can't."

Billen explained the origin of this value to the two interrogators.

"We have developed nuclear weapons, and nuclear power plants will be able to produce a lot of electricity soon. What is the result if we take this into account?"

The irritable interrogator continued to ask without believing in evil, but Compilen's answer made him feel bad.

"It is 0.6. Academic members who hope that the value can be higher, deliberately take into account the technology that can be put into practical use in the near future, otherwise the value will be lower."

As soon as this sentence came out, the interrogation room fell into a short silence, and an inexplicable emotion emerged in the hearts of the two interrogators, which could not be said, but it was very bad.

After adjusting his mood quickly, the interrogator continued to ask.

"You just said ‘probably’, which means you are not sure, so on what basis do you think the Amoeba civilization belongs to the second level?"

Since the Carter civilization's level is calculated through mathematics, what is the basis for the Amoeba's level calculation? The interrogator grasped this keenly.

"According to the way the Amoeba civilization feeds back information, they achieve interstellar information transmission by changing the brightness of stars in the visible spectrum, which is consistent with the second-level description." Billun replied.

However, Billen's answer was not satisfactory to the interrogators, and the irritable interrogator asked loudly.

"What are you talking nonsense? There are stars in the night sky that flicker like car lights. Such a major event will make headlines the next day. It is impossible for you to find the observatory only!"

"This kind of brightness change is difficult to detect with the naked eye, but it is obvious in a high-precision astronomical measuring instrument-the star is transmitting information by'blinking an eye'." Billen replied.
